Gene expression of osteogenic markers and gene and protein expression for VEGF and VEGFR2 in vitro (n = 3). (A) Bar charts showed the gene expression for RUNX-2, COL1A1, BMP2/4, VEGF, and VEGFA in 3D-COL/hPDLSCs, 3D-COL/hPDLSCs/CM, 3D-COL/hPDLSCs/EVs, 3D-COL/hPDLSCs/PEI-EVs. Results showed the significant upregulation of these markers in 3D-COL/hPDLSCs/PEI-EVs compared to 3D-COL/hPDLSCs. (B) Protein specific bands and densitometric analysis of VEGFA and VEGFR2 in 3D-COL/hPDLSCs, 3D-COL/hPDLSCs/CM, 3D-COL/hPDLSCs/EVs, 3D-COL/hPDLSCs/PEI-EVs. Western blot analysis of VEGF and VEGFR2 in vitro evidenced increased levels for both proteins in 3D-COL/hPDLSCs/PEI-EVs compared to the other groups. p < 0.05 3D-COL/hPDLSCs/PEI-EVs compared to 3D-COL/hPDLSCs.
