Phenotypic and functional characteristics of hDPSCs from DGI patient. (A) Accumulation of calcium stained with alizarin red staining after growth of control cells and DGI cells (×10). (B) The mineralization ability of DGI cells was significantly lower than control cells, *, P<0.05. (C) The expression level of DSPP in DGI cells was significantly lower than in control cells, *, P<0.05. (D) The expression level of RUNX2 in DGI cells was significantly lower than in control cells, *, P<0.05. (E) The expression level of ALP in DGI and control cells showed no significant difference. hDPSCs, human dental pulp stem cells; DGI, dentinogenesis imperfecta; DSP, dentin sialoprotein; RUNX2, runt-related transcription factor 2; ALP, alkaline phosphatase.
