Descriptive statistics of the expression of genes related to pluripotency and embryonic stem cells by putative ovarian stem cells (OSC1-3: violet) in comparison with hESCs (ESC1-3: aquamarine) and human adult fibroblasts (FB: gray), revealed by RT-PCR (Fluidigm) showing that putative ovarian stem cells and hESCs strongly expressed all analyzed genes, while fibroblasts only weakly expressed them (except OCT4A ). In addition, fibroblasts expressed the genes SALL4 and REC8 to a significantly lower extent than OSCs, as revealed by the Student’s T-test.
