Fig. 6From: Lineage-specific exosomes promote the odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) through TGFβ1/smads signaling pathway via transfer of microRNAsOD-Exo promoted odontogenic differentiation via TGFβ1/smads signaling pathway. a Consistent with pathway analysis, automated western blot analysis found significantly upregulated protein expressions of TGFβ1, TGFR1, p-Smad2/3, and Smad4 in DPSCs treated with OD-Exo, when compared to the control group and UN-Exo-treated group. b In accordance, once we inhibited the TGFβ1 signaling pathways by SB525334, protein levels of p-Smad2/3, DSP, and DMP-1 were significantly reduced in DPSCs treated with OD-ExoBack to article page
