siRNAs targeting TRPM7 or MagT1 enhance osteogenic differentiation. (A) After exposure to siRNA, hMSC were cultured in CM or OM for 3 days. Real-Time PCR was performed on RNA extracted from hMSC using primers designed on RUNX2 and COL1A1 sequence. (B) ELISA for RUNX2 and collagen type 1 was conducted on extracts from hMSC cultured in CM or OM for 5 days. The controls, indicated as -, were exposed to non-silencing, scrambled sequences.
