Table 1 Different existing sub-populations of MSC. Various sub-populations exist within a particular type of MSCs. Based on the presence of cell surface markers, some sub-population may have different properties, and thus may be used for a specific function
MSC subpopulation | Source | Differentiation capacity and Enhanced Properties | References |
|---|---|---|---|
CD105+ | AD and UC | Enhanced angiogenesis, chondrogenesis, and increased proliferation | (97) |
CD105- | AD and UC | Enhanced osteogenesis, higher immunosuppressive ability | |
CD200+ | BM and UC | Enhanced osteogenesis and immunoregulation | (92) |
STRO-1+ | BM, DP, SM | Arteriogenesis, cardiac recovery and homing ability | (88) |
CD271+ | AD, BM and synovium | High CFU, enhanced HSC engraftment, superior chondral repair, high proliferation | (90,91) |
