Fig. 2From: Nanog/NFATc1/Osterix signaling pathway-mediated promotion of bone formation at the tendon–bone interface after ACL reconstruction with De-BMSCs transplantationThe osteogenic differentiation ability of De-BMSCs cultured for different dedifferentiation times. a Staining with alizarin red S (×100) and staining for alkaline phosphatase (×40) to detect the osteogenic differentiation of De-BMSCs. b mRNA expression of osteoblast marker genes, including COL1A1, OCN, and OPN. c Protein expression of osteoblast marker genes, including COL1A1, OCN, and OPN. Data represent the mean ± SD (n = 3). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
