Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 1. Screening of cytokines and small molecules for LSEC differentiation. (A) The schematic representation of BM-MSC differentiation. (B) qPCR analysis of the expression levels of LYVE1 and CD36 in BM-MSC-derived cells. On the y-axis, the expression levels are shown as a relative value to those of BM-MSCs. All data are presented as mean ± SD (n ¼ 3). Significant differences were evaluated using a one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's post-hoc test (*p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 compared with BFTc [BMP4, FGF8b, TGF-b inhibitor, and cAMP]). Abbreviations: B; BMP4, F; FGF8b, T; TGF-b signal inhibitor, c; cAMP.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2. Analysis of the expression of LSEC-related markers. (A) The schematic representation of BM-MSC differentiation to LSEC-like cells. (B) Brightfield images of the BM-MSCs and BM-MSC-derived cells. Scale bar ¼ 500 mm. (C) qPCR analysis of gene expression of LYVE1, CD36, CD32b, F8, PLVAP, CD31, and VEGFR2 in the BM-MSCs and BM-MSC-derived cells. On the y-axis, the expression levels are shown as a relative value to those of BM-MSCs. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n ¼ 6, sum of two independent experiments, n ¼ 3 for each experiment). (D) Immunocytochemistry analysis of LYVE1 (green) and CD36 (red) in the BM-MSCs and BM-MSC-derived cells. The nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar ¼ 50 mm. (E) The expression level of CD32 in the BM-MSCs and BM-MSC-derived cells was measured using flow cytometry analysis. The values of mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD32 expression were normalized by the MFI of isotype control. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n ¼ 3). Significant differences were evaluated using an unpaired two-tailed Student's t-test (***p < 0.001). (F) The percentage of LYVE1- or CD36-positive cells in the BM-MSC-derived cells was measured using flow cytometry analysis.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 3. Evaluation of endothelial cell-related functions. (A) Tube-formation assay of the BM-MSCs, BM-MSC-derived cells, and HUVECs. Scale bar ¼ 200 mm. (B) 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. Abbreviation: LDL, low-density lipoprotein.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4. Evaluation of LSEC-related functions. (A) HA-uptake assay. BM-MSCs, BM-MSC-derived cells, and HUVECs were cultured in a medium containing fluoresceinamine- conjugated HA to measure their ability to take up HA. (B) IgG-uptake assay. BM-MSCs, BM-MSC-derived cells, and HUVECs were cultured in a medium containing Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated IgG to measure their ability to endocytose IgG. Scale bar ¼ 20 mm. Abbreviation: HA, hyaluronic acid.
