To investigate the effect of BMP4 on cardiomyocyte differentiation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs), mouse ADSCs were treated with different concentrations of BMP4 in media containing fetal bovine serum (FBS) or Knockout (TM) Serum Replacement (KoSR). 3 weeks after cardiac induction, differentiated ADSCs expressed some cardiac-specific genes and proteins. BMP4 treatment upregulated the expression of cardiac transcription factors. In both FBS and KoSR-supplemented media, lower concentrations of BMP4 had a positive effect on the expression of MLC2A gene, while MLC2V was more expressed with higher concentrations of BMP4. BMP4 treatment in KoSR supplemented medium was more efficient for cardiac induction. Supplementation of culture media with insulin-transferrin-selenium improved the expression of MLC2A gene. The results of this study indicated that BMP4 is important for cardiac differentiation of the ADSCs. However, BMP4 was not enough for structural and functional maturation of the ADSC-derived cardiomyocytes.
