Effect of free and conjugated FGF2 on adipogenic differentiation of hBM-MSCs. Cells were grown in adipogenic differentiation media (A, control) supplemented with 3 ng/ml free FGF2 (C) or conjugated FGF2 (D) or free IO/HSA NPs (B), for 14 days. Cells were stained with Oil-red and nuclei were counterstained with hematoxylin. Bar-200μm. (E) To evaluate adipogenic differentiation, the percentage of Oil-red positive area/total area × 100 was calculated in 3 random non overlapping fields of triplicates for each supplement.
