Figure 6. Digestion of P103 amelogenin-TGF-β1 complex and CF-hTGF-β1 by porcine MMP20 or KLK4.

Figure 6

Purified P103 amelogenin-TGF-β1 complex and CF-hTGF-β1 were incubated with porcine MMP20 or KLK4 for 20 h, respectively. (a,c) SDS-PAGE (15% gel) stained with Simply Blue (CBB) showing the P103 amelogenin-TGF-β1 complex (P103 amelogenin) and with silver showing CF-hTGF-β1 (rhTGF-β1). (b,d) The ALP-inducing activity of HPDL cells exposed to the P103 amelogenin-TGF-β1 complex (P103 amelogenin) and CF-hTGF-β1 (rhTGF-β1) samples treated with pMMP20 or pKLK4 (n = 9 culture wells for each sample). Ori: original sample (i.e., no incubation), MMP20: incubation with pMMP20, KLK4: incubation with pKLK4, Cont: incubation without pMMP20 or pKLK4 and β1: recombinant human TGF-β1 with a carrier (0.3 ng mL−1).
