METTL3 Promotes Osteo/Odontogenic Differentiation of Stem Cells by Inhibiting miR-196b-5p Maturation

Figure 5

Cycloleucine upregulated miR-196b-5p levels and inhibited the osteo/odontogenic differentiation of SCAPs. (a) Effect of cycloleucine (10 mM) on the expression of miR-196b-5p. (b) ALP activity assay indicated that 10 mM CL repressed the knockdown of miR-196b-5p promoting ALP activity of SCAPs. (c) Alizarin red staining and (d) quantitative calcium analysis results demonstrating that 10 mM CL suppressed the enhanced mineralization by knockdown miR-196b-5p. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the statistical significance. All error bars signify standard deviations (). and .
