Gene and protein expressions of Wnt/β-catenin pathway related factors in BMSCs after osteogenic induction for 12 h (left side of Figure 5) and 24 h (right side). (a) Gene expressions of β-catenin and cyclinD1 by real-time PCR. Both genes were signifcantly elevated in group A (Ad-hApN-EGFP). *P < 0.05. (b) Protein expressions of β-catenin and cyclinD1 by western blotting. The two genes were up-regulated in group A both in cytoplasm and nucleus, and more β-catenin translocated into nucleus. (c) Immunofluorescence staining of BMSCs. Nucleus was stained with DAPI (blue arrow). The β-catenin (white arrow) expressed in both cytoplasm and nucleus and the fluorescent density and intensity were higher in group A.
