Effect of scrambling pVTK on inhibition of osteoblast culture mineralization. MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cultures were treated with the indicated concentrations of pVTK and scrambled pVTK (pVTK-scram) for 12 days followed by (A) quantification of mineralization by calcium content determination expressed as a percentage of untreated control cultures, and (B) von Kossa (silver nitrate) staining for visualization of mineral. Data are presented as means ± S.D. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 from Student's t-test relative to the untreated control cultures or between the two peptides at a given dose (horizontal bars).
