FIGURE 5.
The MG-63 cells proliferation, osteogenesis, and mitochondrial dynamics. (A) No significant difference in cell proliferation between SLM-UT and SLM-CO surfaces. (B) Upregulated relative gene expression of Runx2 and OCN at 14 days. (C) More continuous mineralization nodules of the SLM-CO surface. (D) Upregulated mitophagy related gene expression of the SLM-CO surface (*P < 0.05). No significant difference existed in mitochondrial biogenesis (PGC-1α, PGC-1β, POLγ, and TFAM), fission (DRP1 and FIS1), and fusion (MFN1 and MFN2) related gene expression (P > 0.05).
