Osteogenic differentiation was conducted as we previously described with several modification (10 (link)). In details, ND-ASCs and T2DM-ASCs were seeded at a density of 2×104 cells/cm2 at 37℃, 5% CO2. When cells reached 80% confluent, the supernatant was discarded and changed into osteogenic differentiation medium containing 100 nM dexamethasone, 50 μM L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, and 10 mM β-glycerophosphate in Serum-free human MSC medium (Yocon). The medium was subsequently changed twice a week. After 28 days, osteogenic differentiation was assessed by von Kossa staining (Abcam). The phase contrast image was photographed with Nikon ElipseTi-U microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).
