Figure 2From: Calcifying vascular smooth muscle cells and osteoblasts: independent cell types exhibiting extracellular matrix and biomineralization-related mimicriesPrincipal Component Analysis of the global gene expression changes occurring during C-VSMC development and osteoblast differentiation. 14733 probes expressed by both VSMC/C-VSMC and MSC/osteoblasts (OB) at day 0, 2, 8, 12 and 25 were considered for analysis. Distance between samples is directly proportional to gene expression differences. Each time point is represented by the average of 3 biological replicates with exception for day 0 where n = 4. Between parenthesis in the x- and y-axis is the percentage of variance captured by the two principal components.Back to article page
