Relative mRNA expression levels of osteogenic markers: RUNX2 (A), Osterix/SP7 (B), Type I collagen (C), ALP (D), IBSP (E), and OCN (F). hMSCs were encapsulated in PEG-bis-AP semi-IPNs containing native hyaluronic acid (HA) or dexamethasone-conjugated HA (HA-DXM) and cultured in growth media containing ascorbic acid and β-glycerophosphate with (+DX) and without (−DX) soluble dexamethasone supplementation (100 nM) for 7, 14, and 21 days. Statistical comparisons between groups are indicated as * (p < 0.05), ** (p < 0.01), or ns (p > 0.05).
