a BMMs transfected with control or DCTN1 siRNA were cultured in ODM for 4 days and stained for TRAP. TRAP-positive multinucleated cells were counted. b BMMs transfected with control or DCTN1 siRNA were cultured in ODM for the indicated number of days. NFATc1, c-Fos, and DCTN1 protein levels were determined by western blotting. c BMMs transfected with control or DCTN1 siRNA were cultured with ODM for 48 h. DCTN1, NFATc1, c-Fos, and Ctsk mRNA levels were analyzed by real-time PCR. d BMMs transfected with control or DCTN1 siRNA were cultured on dentin slices in ODM for 9 days. The black areas indicate the resorbed surfaces on dentin slices. The resorption area and pit depth were analyzed by confocal microscopy. e BMMs transfected with control or DCTN1 siRNA were cultured in ODM for 4 days. The cells were stained with Alexa Fluor 633-conjugated phalloidin. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.005 compared with controls.
