Effect of YAP on an Immortalized Periodontal Ligament Stem Cell Line
Figure 4
The apoptosis rate of TERT-hPDLSCs is decreased. (a, b) Flow cytometry and (c, d) TUNEL staining were employed to assay the apoptosis rate in hPDLSCs and TERT-hPDLSCs, which revealed a lower apoptosis rate of TERT-hPDLSCs than that of hPDLSCs. (e) Western blot showed that overexpression of TERT gene in PDLSCs led to proapoptosis protein BAX decrease, while antiapoptotic protein BCL-2 increases. Scale bar = 100 μm., .
