Oleic acid promotes the osteogenic differentiation of HPdLF. (a) Quantitative expression analysis of the osteogenic marker genes RUNX2, osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OSP), cementum protein 1 (CEMP1) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in fatty acid-cultured HPdLF compared to BSA controls. (b) Representative microphotographs of alizarin red staining of calcium deposits in HPdLF cultured in fatty acids and displayed in (c). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; One-Way ANOVA and post-hoc test (Tukey). Scale bars: 50 μm in (b). BSA, bovine serum albumin; OA, oleic acid; PA, palmitic acid; RNE, relative normalized expression.
