Figure 9: Impaired osteoblast maturation co-occurs with mineralization failure of primary CKD osteoblasts in vitro.

Figure 9:

Changes in (A) Runx2, (B) osteocalcin, and (C) alkaline phosphatase gene expression in confluent osteoblasts cultured under standard pro-mineralizing conditions. Values represent fold of control cell expression at baseline. The asterisk indicates a difference (p<0.05) between control and dialysis patient osteoblasts; the double asterisk indicates an increased in gene expression (p<0.05) for both control and dialysis patients osteoblasts over time.
