Osteoblastic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells cultured in the extraction media of the uncoated and CA-coated Mg alloy. (a) The levels of ALP activity (⋆⋆⋆ p < 0.001 vs. uncoated Mg alloy extraction media + OM); (b) The concentrations of osteopontin secreted (⋆ p < 0.05 vs. uncoated Mg alloy extraction media − OM; ⋆⋆⋆ p < 0.001 vs. uncoated Mg alloy extraction media + OM); (c) Quantitative colorimetric analysis of extracellular matrix mineralization. Results are presented as means ± SD (n = 3). +OM, with osteoinductive medium; −OM, without osteoinductive medium.
