Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5. Evaluation of the differentiation capacity of primary human BM-MSCs into LSEC-like cells (A) The schematic representation of the differentiation of primary human BM- MSCs into LSEC-like cells. (B) qPCR analysis of gene expression of LYVE1, CD36, CD32b, and F8 in primary human BM-MSCs and primary human BM-MSC-derived cells. On the y-axis, the expression levels are shown as a relative value to those of primary human BM-MSCs. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n 8, sum of two independent experiments, n 3 for each experiment.). Significant differences were evaluated using an unpaired two-tailed Student's t-test (*p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001). (C) The percentage of LYVE1- or CD36- positive cells in the primary human BM-MSC-derived cells was measured using flow cytometry analysis. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n ¼ 3). (D) acLDL-uptake assay. BM-MSCs, BM-MSC-derived cells, and HUVECs were cultured in a medium containing Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated acLDL to measure their ability to take up acLDL. Scale bar ¼ 20 mm. (E) HA- uptake assay. Primary human BM-MSCs and primary human BM-MSC-derived cells were cultured in a medium containing fluoresceinamine-conjugated HA to measure their ability to take up HA. Scale bar ¼ 20 mm. Abbreviation: LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HA, hyaluronic acid.
