ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of IGF1 and FGF2 growth factors on the differentiation of human adipose tissue‑derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into skeletal muscle cells.MethodsMSCs were divided into four groups. Group I (control group) was incubated only in myogenic medium, group II was incubated by adding 100 ng/ml FGF2 to the myogenic medium, group III was incubated by adding 20 ng/ml IGF1 to the myogenic medium, group IV was incubated by adding 100 ng/ml FGF2 and 20 ng/ml IGF1 to the myogenic medium. Cells dyed with MyoD1 antibodies were analyzed by flow cytometry so as to determine the myogenic differentiation on day 28.ResultsIt was confirmed that 11.5 % of the control group, 39.2 % of the FGF2 group, 23.1 % of the IGF1 group, and 39.3 % of the IGF1-FGF2 group showed differentiation.ConclusionOur results show that IGF1 and FGF2 have a positive contribution to myogenic differentiation of MSCs. They contribute to the studies related to muscle diseases and their treatment by the fact that growth factors support the feature of regeneration capacity and differentiation (Tab. 2, Fig. 7, Ref. 23).
