Osteogenic effects of Mg2+ and SMF. (a) Alp staining in BMSCs cultured for 7 days. Mg2+-SMF synergy promoted BMSCs ALP activity. (b) Alizarin red staining to detect matrix mineralization in BMSCs cultured for 28 days. The most calcium nodules were observed in BMSCs treated with Mg2+-SMF synergy. (c) Western blot analysis of protein expression in BMSCs cultured for 7 days. Mg2+ and SMF synergistically promoted the expression of BMSCs COL1, Runx2, SP7, and ALP. (d) Cell proliferation was assessed using CCK assays in BMSCs cultured for 1, 3, 5, and 7 days. Mg2+-SMF synergy promoted BMSCs proliferation.
