ADSCs and iADSCs were seeded at 3.2 × 10
4 cells per well in a Nunc cell-culture- treated 4-well dish (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). After 2 days, the adipogenic differentiation was induced by incubation in a
MesenCult Adipogenic Differentiation Kit (Mouse) (STEMCELL Technologies). After 4 and 7 days, cells were stained with
Oil Red O (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) to determine the presence of intracellular lipid droplets, and the expression of differentiation markers after 7 days of differentiation was examined using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs and iADSCs was induced by incubation in a
MesenCult Osteogenic Stimulatory Kit (Mouse) (STEMCELL Technologies) for 11–21 days. Cells after 21 days of differentiation were then stained with
Alizarin red (MUTO PURE CHEMICALS, Tokyo, Japan) to detect Ca
2+ deposits. Cells after 11–21 days of differentiation were also examined for expression of differentiation markers via RT-qPCR. For
Alizarin red staining, Nunc cell-culture-treated 4-well dishes (ThermoFisher Scientific) were coated with 0.01% type I collagen (C4243, Sigma-Aldrich).
