Long Noncoding RNA IGFBP7-AS1 Promotes Odontogenesis of Stem Cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth via the p38 MAPK Pathway

Figure 3

IGFBP7-AS1 knockdown suppresses the odontogenic differentiation of SHED. (a) qRT-PCR detected lncRNA IGFBP7-AS1 levels in the si-NC and si-IGFBP7-AS1 groups. (b) Images of ALP staining of SHED on day 7 after odontogenic differentiation and ARS staining of SHED on day 14 after odontogenic differentiation in the si-NC and si-IGFBP7-AS1 groups. (c) qRT-PCR detected osteo/odontogenic differentiation-related markers: ALP, DSPP, DMP1, OCN, and BMP2 in the si-NC and si-IGFBP7-AS1 groups. (d) Western blot detected odontogenic differentiation-specific markers: DSPP and DMP1 in the si-NC and si-IGFBP7-AS1 groups. Data were expressed as the (SD) of three experiments per group, , , , and .
