Trend of signaling protein expression and functional validation of selected potential signaling regulating osteogenic differentiation by cBM-MSCs and cDPSCs in vitro. Pie charts represented trend of signaling protein expression by cBM-MSCs and cDPSCs upon an in vitro osteogenic differentiation at day 7 and 14 post-induction (A). Signaling categories and numbers of protein were mentioned. Schematic diagram of an in vitro osteogenic induction and functional validation of selected potential signaling on osteogenic differentiation was showed (B). Functional validation of the potential signaling regulating an in vitro osteogenic differentiation by cBM-MSCs (C) and cDPSCs (D) was performed by treatment with specific signaling inhibitors (canonical Wnt inhibitor: Dkk-1, Notch inhibitor: DAPT, TGF-beta inhibitor: SB431542, and BMP inhibitors: noggin and dorsomorphin). Assessment of matrix mineralization by Von Kossa staining with mineralized area percentage was performed at day 7 and 14 post-induction (n = 4). Asterisks and sharps indicated the significant difference comparing with undifferentiated control and osteogenic control, respectively (p value < 0.05).
