Figure 5. Silencing of Runx2 expression in mouse mesenchymal progenitor cells (C2C12).

Figure 5

Cells were transfected with the indicated formulations in the same way as in Figures 3 and 4. The mRNA levels of Runx2 were determined by real-time PCR. Gene expression in each sample is normalized to expression of the 18S ribosomal RNA, and the expression is then normalized to the Runx2 expression of untransfected cells untreated with BMP-2. Single asterisk (*) represents statistical significance (p < 0.05) relative to No Polymer condition in the absence of BMP-2, and double asterisk (**) represents statistical significance (p < 0.05) relative to No Polymer condition in the presence of BMP-2.
