Fig. 4From: Bone regeneration by human dental pulp stem cells using a helioxanthin derivative and cell-sheet technologyComparison of osteogenic differentiation ability of DPSCs and BMSCs in the presence of TH. a DPSCs and BMSCs cultured in OM with or without TH (10–6 M). After 7 or 14 days, cells were subjected to ALP staining to detect ALP activity. b RT-PCR performed to measure the expression levels of osteogenic differentiation markers in DPSCs and BMSCs cultured with or without TH at day 7 or day 14. Error bars represent SD. Statistical analyses performed by one-way ANOVA (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01). Results of DPSCs are from four patients. Results of BMSCs are from three independent experiments. d day, DPSC human dental pulp stem cell, BMSC bone marrow stem cell, OM osteogenic medium, TH 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyrido[40,30:4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamideBack to article page
