Effect of Cyclic Mechanical Stimulation on the Expression of Osteogenesis Genes in Human Intraoral Mesenchymal Stromal and Progenitor Cells

Figure 2

Straining profile and effects of mechanical stimulation on the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from human intraoral MSPCs. (a) Profile of a uniaxial sinusoidal waveform with 10% elongation and a frequency of 0.5 Hz, whereby each cycle consists of 10 s strain and 30 s relaxation. (b) The percentage of LDH released into the culture media was measured after 7 and 14 days of culture. Each bar represents the of independent experiments performed in triplicate ( ); * .
