Suppressed expression of osteoblast differentiation markers in primary mouse osteoblasts by introduction of Mct1 siRNA. Control or Mct1 siRNA was introduced into primary osteoblasts isolated from mouse calvaria. Osteoblasts were cultured for 72 (a,b) or 48 (c) hours in the absence (−) or presence (+) of BMP-2 (300 ng/mL). (a) ALP activity, detected by staining. (b) ALP activity in cell lysates. (c) Expression of mRNAs for Tnap, Bglap, Runx2, and Sp7 were analyzed by real-time RT-PCR, then normalized against that of Gapdh, with the results indicated as relative values. (b,c) Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 3–5). *, **Significantly different from control group (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01).
