Protective Effect of Photobiomodulation against Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Oxidative Damage by Promoting Autophagy through Inhibition of PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway in MC3T3-E1 Cells

Figure 3

PBM promoted MC3T3 cell osteogenic differentiation. (a, b) An analysis of Runx2, Osx, OPN, and OCN expressions by western blotting in the control, H2O2, and treated with PBM groups (). (c) RT-PCR was applied to measure the levels of Runx2, Osx, OPN, and OCN mRNA in each group. (d) Alkaline phosphatase dyeing. (e) Alizarin red dyeing; black scale bar shows 200 μm. (f, g) An analysis of Runx2, Osx, OPN, and OCN expressions by western blotting in the H2O2, H2O2+PBM, and NAC groups (). The value < 0.05 significance level was considered significant.
