Differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into gonad and adrenal steroidogenic cells

Figure 1 Differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into steroidogenic cells. A: Transplantation of GFP-positive MSCs into prepubertal testis. Double staining of frozen sections from the testis 5 wk after MSC transplantation with anti-GFP and anti-P450scc antibodies; B: Protocol for generating steroidogenic cells from MSCs, and gene expression pattern of steroidogenic cells derived from hBM-MSCs; C: Fluorescence images of DAPI staining and P450scc immunostaining of SF-1 introduced BM-MSCs cultured with or without cAMP. ST: Seminiferous tubule. MSC: Mesenchymal stem cell.
