Comparison of the Cytokine Profile in Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Human Adipose, Umbilical Cord, and Placental Tissues

MSCs were extracted from adipose, umbilical cord, and placental tissues. The expression levels of 80 cytokines were detected, and the data demonstrated that the three MSC types abundantly secreted insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP)-4, IGFBP-3, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1, TIMP-2, IGFBP-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.
