a Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis of lineage-specific gene mRNA expression in osteogenic culture. The human rotator cuff-derived cells express the osteoblast-related genes alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteopontin after 3 weeks of culture under osteogenic conditions. b The human rotator cuff-derived cells express the adipocyte-related genes peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) after 3 weeks of culture under adipogenic conditions. c The human rotator cuff-derived cells express chondrocyte-related genes such as type X collagen after 3 weeks of culture under chondrogenic conditions. SOX9 and type II collagen expressions are detected after 2 and 3 weeks of culture
