(a) ALP staining in AM-MSCs and BM-MSCs after treated with anti-miR-31, anti-miR-106a, and anti-miR-148a for 3, 7, 14, and 21 days. (b) Alkaline phosphatase activity of AM-MSCs and BM-MSCs after transient transfection with miRNA inhibitors. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. significant difference compared to MSCs cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium + negative control. #,$ significant difference compared to BM-MSCs cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium + anti-miR-31 or anti-miR-106a or AM-MSCs cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium + anti-miR-31 or anti-miR-148a.
