TGFβ1-Induced Differentiation of Human Bone Marrow-Derived MSCs Is Mediated by Changes to the Actin Cytoskeleton by Mona Elsafadi, Muthurangan Manikandan, Sami Almalki, Mohammad Mobarak, Muhammad Atteya, Zafar Iqbal, Jamil Amjad Hashmi, Sameerah Shaheen, Nehad Alajez, Musaad Alfayez, Moustapha Kassem, Raed Abu Dawud, Amer Mahmood

“…In the present study, we demonstrate that a single dose of TGFβ1 prior to induction of osteogenic or adipogenic differentiation results in increased mineralized matrix or increased numbers of lipid-filled mature adipocytes, respectively. To identify the mechanisms underlying this TGFβ-mediated enhancement of lineage commitment, we compared the gene expression profiles of TGFβ1-treated hMSC cultures using DNA microarrays. …”
