Abstract: Mouse L929 fibroblastic cell line, which is widely
used in many experiment aspects, was tested for their differentiation
potency in osteogenic differentiation and adipogenic differentiation.
Human dermal fibroblasts, which their differentiation potency are
still be in confliction, also be taken in the experiment. The
differentiations were conducted by using the inducing medium
ingredients which is generally used to induce differentiation of stem
cells. By the inducing media used, L929 mouse fibroblasts
successfully underwent osteogenic differentiation and adipogenic
differentiation while human dermal fibroblasts underwent only
osteogenic differentiation but not for adipogenic differentiation.
Human dermal fibroblasts are hard to be differentiated in adipogenic
lineage and need specific proper condition for induction.
