Human Periodontal Ligament Derived Progenitor Cells: Effect of STRO-1 Cell Sorting and Wnt3a Treatment on Cell Behavior
Figure 5
Representative results showed Wnt3a pretreatment did not affect functionality of hPDLCs after long-term expansion. (a) No difference in DNA content was observed between Wnt3a-pretreated cells and control cells after 5 passages. (b) Wnt3a-pretreated cells displayed no difference compared to the control cells in CFU number. (c) No difference in ALP activity was observed between Wnt3a-pretreated cells and control cells. (d) No difference in calcium content was detected between Wnt3a-pretreated cells and control cells after 5 passages. Error bars represent standard deviation.
