Real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis of Runx2, OPN, and OCN messenger ribonucleic acid expression in periodontal ligament stem cells on two scaffolds.
Notes: Gene expression was normalized to housekeeping gene β-actin expression. Periodontal ligament stem cells were cultivated for 3, 7, and 14 days on PADM and HAp-PADM. Data represents mean ± standard deviation (n = 3); *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01 (PADM versus HAp-PADM).
Abbreviations:OPN, osteopontin; OCN, osteocalcin; HAp-PADM, hydroxyapatite-coated porcine acellular dermal matrix; PADM, porcine acellular dermal matrix.
