Downregulation of miR-224-5p Promotes Migration and Proliferation in Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells

<p>Osteogenic differentiation for 21 days. Red areas are calcified nodules. (a) Stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAP). (b) Human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). There are more calcified nodules in picture (a) than in picture (b). Original magnification: 40×. (c) Quantitative RT-PCR showing the levels of miR-224-5p expression in DPSCs and SCAP. Values are expressed as relative expression with respect to the endogenous control gene U6 (<span class="nowrap"><svg height="11.97pt" id="M2" style="vertical-align:-0.04979992pt" version="1.1" viewbox="-0.0498162 -11.9202 33.2495 11.97" width="33.2495pt" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,0,0)"><path d="M412 140C382 77 369 73 315 73H129L270 222C362 320 402 379 402 466C402 571 322 635 234 635C177 635 130 609 99 576L42 495L64 475C90 514 133 568 201 568C274 568 318 519 318 435C318 349 255 267 193 193C144 135 87 78 32 23V0H405C417 45 427 89 440 131L412 140Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.0091,0,0,-0.0091,6.24,-5.741)"><path d="M556 236V289H56V236H556Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.0091,0,0,-0.0091,11.8,-5.741)"><path d="M610 0V27L347 666L316 657L46 26V0H610ZM504 54H116L310 537L504 54Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.0091,0,0,-0.0091,17.747,-5.741)"><path d="M610 0V27L347 666L316 657L46 26V0H610ZM504 54H116L310 537L504 54Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.0091,0,0,-0.0091,23.694,-5.741)"><path d="M618 181C565 77 513 26 413 26C264 26 151 150 151 336C151 486 240 625 407 625C516 625 573 582 600 475L634 483C627 540 622 581 613 638C585 643 518 665 435 665C211 665 46 526 46 315C46 158 157 -15 406 -15C480 -15 564 4 594 12C612 43 638 121 651 168L618 181Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.0091,0,0,-0.0091,29.682,-5.741)"><path d="M303 37L293 66C280 59 256 49 231 49S173 63 173 143V396H281C294 404 298 428 287 439H173V575L158 577L92 509V439H46L17 408L22 396H92V107C92 27 128 -12 192 -12C203 -12 218 -9 237 2L303 37Z"></path></g></svg>).</span> Data represent the mean±SEM of 3 independent experiments conducted in duplicate, <svg height="6.01072pt" id="M3" style="vertical-align:-0.04980993pt" version="1.1" viewbox="-0.0498162 -5.96091 15.4189 6.01072" width="15.4189pt" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,0,0)"><path d="M471 153C471 170 463 194 452 212C400 220 373 229 322 255C373 281 400 290 452 298C463 316 471 339 471 357C456 366 431 371 410 370C377 329 356 310 308 279C311 336 317 364 336 413C326 432 310 451 294 459C279 451 262 432 252 413C271 364 277 336 280 279C232 310 211 329 178 370C157 371 132 367 117 357C117 340 125 316 136 298C188 290 215 281 266 255C215 229 188 220 136 212C125 194 117 171 117 153C132 144 157 139 178 140C211 181 232 200 280 231C277 174 271 146 252 97C262 78 278 59 294 51C309 59 326 78 336 97C317 146 311 174 308 231C356 200 377 181 410 140C431 139 456 143 471 153Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,7.631,0)"><path d="M471 153C471 170 463 194 452 212C400 220 373 229 322 255C373 281 400 290 452 298C463 316 471 339 471 357C456 366 431 371 410 370C377 329 356 310 308 279C311 336 317 364 336 413C326 432 310 451 294 459C279 451 262 432 252 413C271 364 277 336 280 279C232 310 211 329 178 370C157 371 132 367 117 357C117 340 125 316 136 298C188 290 215 281 266 255C215 229 188 220 136 212C125 194 117 171 117 153C132 144 157 139 178 140C211 181 232 200 280 231C277 174 271 146 252 97C262 78 278 59 294 51C309 59 326 78 336 97C317 146 311 174 308 231C356 200 377 181 410 140C431 139 456 143 471 153Z"></path></g></svg>P&lt;0.01.</p>
