Figure 2

The differences in the cytokine release patterns between the ADSCs from the subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues. (A) There were differences in some cytokines between the subcutaneous and visceral ADSCs using a cytokine assay kit. (B) These cytokines were angiogenesis-related, such as: CHI3LI; IL-1β; EGF; MCP-1; CST3; IL-6; IL-8; PTX3; TGF-β; PLAUR; and TNF-α. These cytokines’ secretions were smaller in the supernatants of the ADSC conditioned medium from subcutaneous adipose tissue. We analysed pixel density in each spot of the array (*P < 0.05, Mann-Whitney U test). (C) The cell proliferation speed was faster in the subcutaneous ADSCs than in the visceral ADSCs (3.3 vs. 5.8 days, *P = 0.04. Mann-Whitney U test).
