Figure 4From: Effects of enamel matrix derivative on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human gingival mesenchymal stem cellsOsteogenic protein expression of hGMSCs after EMD treatments. (A) The protein and nuclear translocation expressions of cbfα-1 in hGMSCs after EMD treatment for three days. (B) The protein expression of OC in hGMSCs after EMD treatment for four weeks. (C) The enzyme activity of ALP in hGMSCs after EMD treatment for seven days. (means ± standard deviations, * and #: significant difference at P <0.05 versus 0 and 25 μg/ml EMD, respectively). ALP, alkaline phosphatase; EMD, enamel matrix derivative; hGMSCs, human gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells; OC, osteocalcin.Back to article page
