Isolation and characterization of CD146(+) multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells.

There is no good marker for mesenchymal stromal cells. A culture was selected on the basis of CD146. These were profiled for miRNA expression and a novel profile of differentiated chondrocytes was compared. Of 36 miRNAs altered a third were increased.Let-7 was the most significantly downregulated with pre-miR-204 at the top of the table.
