Aspirin stimulates the osteogenesis of BMSC in vitro and in vivo. BMSC treated with different concentrations of aspirin increased the capability of forming Alizarin red-positive calcified deposits a. BMSC treated with 75 μg/ml aspirin showed the up-regulation of bone related genes (Runx2 and osteopontin) b. Aspirin treatment significantly stimulated BMSC-mediated bone formation in immunocompromised mice transplants c-e. The results are representative of at least three independent experiments. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) and statistical significance is shown as (*) p < 0.05 or (**) p < 0.01. Scale bars = 100 μm. B bone, HA hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate, CT connective tissues, BMSC bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
