Comparison of Osteogenic Differentiation Potential of Human Dental-Derived Stem Cells Isolated from Dental Pulp, Periodontal Ligament, Dental Follicle, and Alveolar Bone

Chondrogenic differentiation capacity of DPSCs, PDLSCs, DFPCs, and ABMMSCs. (a) Alcian blue staining of DPSCs, PDLSCs, DFPCs, and ABMMSCs after 21 days of chondrogenic differentiation ( μm). (b) qRT-PCR was performed to analyze the potency of chondrogenic differentiation in DPSCs, PDLSCs, DFPCs, and ABMMSCs at days 0 and 21. The -axis represents the relative mRNA fold change, which was calculated using the 2^−ΔΔCt formula with β-actin as the internal control. Error bars represent the SD () (, , and vs. DPSCs; ^#, ^##, and ^### vs. PDLSCs; ^&, ^&&, and ^&&& vs. DFPCs; ^†, ^††, and ^††† vs. ABMMSCs).
