Characterization of the cells isolated from dental pulp tissues. (A) Flow cytometry histograms of passage 2 cells gated on the forward and side scatter of analyzed particles for the expression of MSC positive CD90 and CD105 (red), and negative CD31 and CD45 (green) surface markers. Black curves: Unstained control. (B) Relative expression of the osteogenic marker genes osterix (OSX), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and osteocalcin (OC) by the cells chemically induced with dexamethasone. Expression levels in the chemical induction group were normalized to the corresponding levels in the maintenance media without osteogenic supplements.
