miR-497-5p was upregulated during osteo/odontogenic differentiation of SCAP. (A) Heat map of the differentially expressed miRNAs in differentiated SCAP. Red indicates up-regulated miRNAs and green indicates down-regulated miRNAs. (B) Expression levels of miR-376a-3p, miR-497-5p, miR-660-5p, miR-146a-5p, miR-199b-5p in differentiated SCAP examined by qRT-PCR. (C,D) The expression of osteo/odontogenic differentiation related proteins in overexpressed miR-376a-3p, miR-497-5p, miR-660-5p, miR-146a-5p, miR-199b-5p examined by western blot. (E) Time course of miR-497-5p expression during osteogenic differentiation of SCAP. Data are presented as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with control group.
