Alizarin Red S staining and the effect of the VEGF/AKT/mTOR pathway on odontoblast differentiation induced by LMK-235. Alizarin Red S staining of the (A) control, (B) LMK-235, (C) MI and (D) MI+LMK-235 groups (magnification, ×100). mRNA expression levels of (E) VEGF, (F) AKT and (G) mTOR. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. DSPP, dentin sialophosphoprotein; MI, mineralized inductive; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; mTOR, mechanistic target of rapamycin; AKT, RAC-gamma serine/threonine-protein kinase.
