A Novel OsteomiRs Expression Signature for Osteoblast Differentiation of Human Amniotic Membrane-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Figure 1
Osteogenic differentiation of AM-hMSCs. (a) Alizarin Red staining showing mineral deposition of calcium in undifferentiated AM-hMSCs (time 0) and after 7 and 14 days of differentiation to osteoblastic lineage. (b) Quantification of the calcium deposition shown in (a). (c) Western blot assays using whole protein extract and antibodies raised against COL1A2 protein after 0, 7, and 14 days of induction. Data were normalized using control GAPDH expression. (d) Densitometry analysis of the immunodetected bands in (c). Data represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments (p<0.05; p<0.001).
