FACS analysis of F-MAPCs and SD-MAPCs for α-SMA and SM22α expression. The expression profiles for α-SMA and SM22α during TGF-β1 differentiation of F-MAPCs (A) and SD-MAPCs (B) display similar population shifts at day 6 and passage 1, achieving levels equivalent to those in RAOSMCs at passage 1 (n = 3). Endothelial cells (Endo) failed to express either α-SMA or SM22α.
