Periostin: A Downstream Mediator of EphB4-Induced Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Figure 3

mRNA expression of osteoblast markers after treatment with ephrinB2-FC or POSTN. (a~e) mRNA expression was quantified by real-time PCR upon stimulation with ephrinB2-FC or POSTN for 3 (Runx2, Osterix), 6 (α-SMA, COL1), and 9 (ALP) days. Untreated MSCs were used as the control. Bars represent means ± SD from 3 biological replicates relative to GAPDH controls; .
