Extrahepatic 25-Hydroxylation of Vitamin D3 in an Engineered Osteoblast Precursor Cell Line Exploring the Influence on Cellular Proliferation and Matrix Maturation during Bone Development

Figure 8

Semi-quantification of matrix mineralization of cultured experimental groups shown in Figures 6 and 7 after two weeks of treatment. OPC1 treated with vitamin D3 or 1,25OH2D3 in BM+ had a statistically significant ( ) amount of calcium deposition in comparison to both BM− and BM+ controls. MC3T3-E1 cells cultured with 1,25OH2D3 in BM+ had a statistically significant amount of calcium deposition in comparison with both BM− and BM+ controls.
