Effects of Wnt treatment on MSCs gene expression. MSCs were cultured to confluence on TCPS and treated with fresh media supplemented with 50 ng/mL recombinant human Wnt11 for 12 hours. RNA was extracted and gene expression analysis was conducted by RT-qPCR for runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), collagen type 1 (COL1A1), bone gla-protein (BGLAP), and alkaline phosphatase (ALPL A). Interaction of Wnt treatments on WNT gene expression was examined by RT-qPCR for WNT3A, WNT5A, and WNT11 (B) after treatment for 12 hours with 50 ng/mL of Wnt3a, Wnt5a, or Wnt11. *p < 0.05 vs control; #p < 0.05 Wnt3a treatment; %p < 0.05 vs Wnt5a treatment. RT-qPCR was conducted for WNT11 for MSCs cultured on TCPS or Ti surfaces for either 2, 4, or 6 days (C). *p < 0.05 vs TCPS; #p < 0.05 vs PT.
