Effect of Ag-NPs on C-TnI, GATA4, SMA, VEGF, and VWF protein and gene expression in cardiomyogenically differentiated BM-MSCs. (A–F) Protein and RNA were extracted from group I (cardiomyogenically differentiated BM-MSCs without Ag-NP treatment), group II (BM-MSCs in the presence of 2.5 µg/mL Ag-NPs), and III (cardiomyogenically differentiated BM-MSCs in the presence of 2.5 µg/mL Ag-NPs) as described in methods section and was subjected to western blotting; (*P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01) and real-time PCR (G–K); (*P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01), respectively.
