Cellular Responses in Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells Treated with Three Endodontic Materials

Figure 3

Analysis of expression of DNA damage responses and repair genes in HDPSCs incubated with endodontic materials at 24 hours, by the technique of real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) for (a) RAD53, (b) ATM, (c) RAD51, and (d) PARP-1. The statistical test used was ANOVA with a post hoc Newman-Keuls test to analyze changes in the relative expression of DNA damage response and DNA repair genes. indicates significant differences between groups compared (). Each sample was analyzed in triplicate.
