Effects of repeated viable cell measurement on gene expression of MC3T3-E1 cells cultured on 3D PLA scaffolds. Gene expression of BSP (A), COL I (B) and OCN (C) were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. Cells grown on scaffolds of the test group and the control group for 7, 14 and 21 days were used as samples. The y-axis represents fold changes of gene expression normalized by GAPDH. Each data was the mean of three samples, and three scaffolds were pooled as a sample (n = 3, total = nine scaffolds for one data)
