The effect of NAC on the proliferation, migration and osteogenic differentiation of hDFCs under H2O2-induced oxidative stress. a Effect of combination drug treatment on the viability of hDFCs. b After 24 h of culture in Transwell plates, crystal violet staining was performed. c Pretreatment with NAC led to increased hDFC migration to the opposite side of the membrane compared with that observed in the H2O2-treated groups. d The effect of NAC on the osteogenic differentiation of hDFCs stimulated with H2O2, as determined by Alizarin Red staining. e RT-PCR analysis of Collagen I, ALP, RunX2, and Periostin mRNA expression. ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, and ∗∗∗P < 0.001
