Figure 3-19. Prussian blue staining of the iron labeled MSCs in the
surgical scar site.
Prussian blue staining was used to detect the presence of the iron labeled
MSCs in the surgical scar site. The iron particles in the cells were visualized
as the blue dots in the cells.

3.5 Discussion
Several other groups have investigated the effects of the SPIO labeling of
MSC using different transfection approaches (200-203). These studies
reported controversial results especially on chondrogenic differentiation.
Farrell et al. (204) showed that SPIO labeled cells negatively affected the
osteogenic differentiation of the cells in vivo. In contrast, our study showed
that iron labeling did not affect the adipogenic and osteogenic potential of
MSCs in vitro but could negatively affect viability and chondrogenic
differentiation of the labeled cells at higher concentrations. Our results are in
agreement with those of Kostura et al. (192), but not with those of Heymer et
al. (205) and Arbab et al. (189). This difference could be the result of lower
