Effects of an AICAR treatment on the mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells. Mineralization of MC3T3-E1 was evaluated by von Kossa and Alizarin red stainings. (A) Plate view of von Kossa and Alizarin red stainings in cultured MC3T3-E1 cells. (B) Quantification of Alizarin red staining via extraction with etylpyridinium chloride. The amount of released dye was quantified by microplate reader at 550 nm. Mineralization was significantly increased in the AICAR treatment compared to the control (*** p < 0.001). The result was the representative of three different experiments.
