hADSC-EVs induce the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs by delivering CGRP. (a) Western blot analysis of CGRP protein in hADSCs treated with shCGRP-1, shCGRP-2, and shCGRP-3. (b) Western blot analysis of CGRP protein in hADSC-EVs EVs-shCGRP. (c) Western blot analysis of CGRP protein in the presence of EVs-shNC or EVs-shCGRP. hPDLSCs were coincubated with EVs-shNC or EVs-shCGRP. (d) ALP staining analysis of ALP activity in hPDLSCs. (e) ARS staining of cellular matrix mineralization in hPDLSCs. (f) Expression of RUNX2, ALP, and OCN determined by RT-qPCR in hPDLSCs. (g) Western blot analysis of RUNX2, ALP, and OCN proteins in hPDLSCs. , compared with shNC- or EV-shNC-treated hADSCs or control hPDLSCs. #, compared with EV-shNC-treated hPDLSCs, .
