On the contrary, no CD248 mRNA modulation was observed by using PDGF-BB, in both SSc- and HC-MSC [CD248 mRNA levels in PDGF-BB SSc-MSC 1.69 (1.24–1.85) vs UT SSc-MSC 1.32 (1.25–1.50); p = ns; CD248 mRNA levels in PDGF-BB HC-MSC 0.85 (0.72–1.0) vs UT HC-MSC 0.96 (0.73–1.17); p = n.s.]. The gene discussed is CD248; the disease is systemic sclerosis.
