Effect of sertraline treatment on the function of calvarial cell populations. ad Effect of sertraline on the proliferative potential of cell types within the defect site. eh Apoptotic effect of sertraline. il ALP function of cell types within the defect site after sertraline treatment. b Pre-osteoblast E1s were shown to have significantly decreased proliferation after sertraline treatment for 3 days, while by 7 days, a significant increase was observed (P < 0.001). In comparison, eh the apoptotic effect of sertraline was shown to significantly decrease for f BMSCs (P < 0.01) and g E1s (P < 0.01), with e C2C12s and h primary calvarial cells also showing trends toward decreased apoptosis with sertraline treatment compared to control. Sertraline was found to significantly decrease i C2C12 (P < 0.001) and j BMSC (P < 0.001) ALP production at 7 days. n = 2–6 per cell type. # different from control; * different from low-dose sertraline; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
