Fig 1: Expression of adipogenesis, proliferation markers and growth factors. (A) FABP4 mRNA expression of vascularized mSVF explants after two and six weeks. There was no difference in FABP4 mRNA expression between two and six weeks. (B) pERK/ERK and (C) pAKT/AKT ratios in vascularized mSVF explants after two and six weeks. While no difference in phosphorylation of Akt was seen, activation of pERK1/2 was significantly increased after six weeks. After two and six weeks, there was no statistical difference in the mRNA expression of (D) bFGF, (E) VEGF, (F) TGFb in vascularized mSVF. (G) When cultured, mSVF secreted significant amounts of VEGF, bFGF and TGFb. * p < 0.05.
