Effect of RUNX1 on BMP9-induced protein expression levels of pivotal osteogenic markers. Cells were infected with Ad-RUNX1 or Ad-siRUNX1, and then treated by optimal BMP9-CM. Total protein was extracted and was measured by Western blot. (A) Overexpression of RUNX1 promoted the expression of BMP9 induced OCN in protein levels, while its deficiency using Ad-RUNX1 reduced OCN expression. Overexpression of RUNX1 promoted BMP9-induced protein expression levels of DLX5 and RUNX2 in: C3H10T1/2 (B); C2C12 (C); and MEFs (D). Inhibition of RUNX1 decreased BMP9-induced protein expression of DLX5 and RUNX2 in: C2C12 (E); and MEFs (F). * p < 0.05, as compared with BMP9 group.
