Human Periodontal Ligament Derived Progenitor Cells: Effect of STRO-1 Cell Sorting and Wnt3a Treatment on Cell Behavior
Figure 4
Representative results showed Wnt3a delayed osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs. (a) ALP mRNA was downregulated by Wnt3a after 7 days of osteogenic induction. (b) The gene expression was equal for Runx-2 and OC between two groups. (c) ALP activity was downregulated by Wnt3a on days 7 and 10. (d) Wnt3a has no effect on the calcium content after 30 days of osteogenic induction. ; error bars represent standard deviation.
