Figure 4. Gene expression patterns of osteogenic markers before and after osteogenic induction.

Figure 4

Total RNA was extracted from GCs immediately after isolation and from DFOG cells before and after osteogenic induction. BMSCs were prepared as controls for osteoblast differentiation. The O4, O7 and O14 samples were collected on days 4, 7 and 14 after osteogenic induction respectively. The time-dependent effect of transdifferentiation on mRNA expression of osteogenic transcription factors (RUNX2, SP7 and DLX5) and osteoblastic functional markers (ALPL, SPP1 and IBSP). The density of each amplified cDNA band of some osteogenic markers was normalized to that of the corresponding band of GAPDH. cnf, confluence.
