Abstract

We cultured human mesenchymal stem cells in osteogenic differentiation medium for 2 weeks, and conducted its gene profiling by DNA microarray. 1368 genes were down-regulated, but 2516 genes were up-regulated. Characteristically, osteogenic-differentiation-related genes such as those of osteonectin, osteopontin, BSP and BMP10 and collagen type 1 and 4 genes were up-regulated, while Cyclin A2 gene was down-regulated. Many genes were identified, but their function is not well known. Future studies are highly expected.
