5 μM EGCG protects against 0.2 mM H₂O₂-induced inhibition of osteogenic differentiation of human BM-MSCs. (a) Representative ALP and ARS staining images in the four experimental groups. ALP activity (b) and calcium contents (c) of the cultures of the experimental groups normalized to control. (d) Relative mRNAs expression of Runx2 and OSX in the experimental groups, quantified by RT-PCR. Data were presented as mean ± SEM. and versus control, and versus 0.2 mM H₂O₂ treatment alone.
