Figure 4. Osteogenic gene expression of ASCs in monolayer culture.
Osteogenic gene markers including Runx2 (A), ALP (B), ON (C), Col1a (D) and OCN (E), were elevated in ASCs transduced with noggin shRNA in the presence or absence of BMP-2 as analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR at day 14 (*p<0.05, ** p<0.01 compared to their corresponding controls transduced with control shRNA). Significant up-regulation of all genes was observed after treatment with different doses of BMP-2 (§ p <0.05, §§ p <0.01).
