Is There a Noninvasive Source of MSCs Isolated with GMP Methods with Better Osteogenic Potential? by Carla C. G. Pinheiro, Alessander Leyendecker Junior, Daniela Y. S. Tanikawa, José Ricardo Muniz Ferreira, Reza Jarrahy, Daniela F. Bueno

“…To evaluate whether greater osteogenic potential of the established mesenchymal stem cell strains was associated with an increase in the expression profile of neural crest genes, real-time qPCR was performed on the following genes: SRY-box 9, SRY-box 10, nerve growth factor receptor, transcription factor AP-2 alpha, and paired box 3. Results. The mesenchymal stem cells obtained from deciduous dental pulp and orbicularis oris muscle demonstrated increased osteogenic potential with significantly more extracellular bone matrix deposition when compared to primary cultures obtained from the umbilical cord after twenty-one days in culture (p=0.007 and p=0.005, respectively). …”
