Synergistic Effects of BMP9 and miR-548d-5p on Promoting Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Figure 5

Combination of BMP9 and miR-548d-5p enhances matrix mineralization and calcium deposition in MSCs. (a) Alizarin red S staining at 2 and 3 w shows the synergetic effects of BMP9 and miR-548d-5p on matrix mineralization; (b) the synergetic effects of BMP9 and miR-548d-5p on calcium deposition in MSCs cultured for 14 days ( versus control; versus miR-548d-5p; versus BMP9).
