In vitro osteogenesis and angiogenesis. ASC/HUVEC ratios of 1 : 1, 1 : 3, and 3 : 1 were achieved by culturing , , and ADSCs, respectively, with 105 HUVECs. (a) The CCK-8 test of cell viability after coculture for 1, 3, and 7 days. (b) Alizarin Red S staining after 14 days. All values are shown as percentages compared with control. (c) mRNA expression of osteogenic-specific genes (ALP, OCN, and RUNX2) in each group at 10 days. mRNA expression, quantified using real-time quantitative PCR, was normalized to β-actin as a reference gene. . Error bars represent the standard deviation ().
