Figure 5. Restored osteogenic differentiation of MM-MSCs by DAPT.

Figure 5

(A, B) Application of 10 μM DAPT in the osteogenic differentiation medium for 48 h increased mineralization evaluated by alizarin red S staining following 21 days of osteogenic induction. (C) After 3 days of differentiation in osteogenic medium, ALP activity showed an increase in MM-MSCs treated with DAPT. (D) DAPT treatment induced a decreased expression of Hes-1, Hes-5 and Hey-1 genes in impaired-osteo MM-MSCs. (E) The expression of genes, RUNX2, BSP, ALP, OCN, OPN and COL-1 involved in osteogenic differentiation showed higher level in impaired-osteo MM-MSCs cultured in osteogenic induction medium in addition with DAPT for 7 days. (F) DAPT treatment decreased the expression of Hes-1 but increased the expression of RUNX2 in BMMSCs from impaired-osteo MM patients. Each experiment was repeated three times. All values are expressed as means ± SD. *p < 0.05.
