KDM6B is critical for E2-mediated osteogenic differentiation of DMSCs. a Depletion of KDM6B in DMSCs via two different shRNAs (sh1KDM6B and sh3KDM6B) by qRT-PCR. b Alkaline phosphatase staining and quantification of KDM6B-depleted DMSCs after 5 days in osteogenic media with and without E2. c Alizarin Red S staining and quantification of KDM6B-depleted DMSCs after 14 days in osteogenic media with and without E2. d qRT-PCR of osteogenic genes (HOXC6, DLX5, ALP, OCN) in the KDM6B-depleted DMSCs following osteogenic media induction with and without E2. e Overexpression of KDM6B in KDM6B-depleted DMSCs confirmed by western blot analysis. f Alkaline phosphatase staining and quantification of DMSC/Scrsh/V, DMSC/shKDM6B/V, and DMSC/shKDM6B/Flag-KDM6B. g Alizarin Red S staining and quantification of DMSC/Scrsh/V, DMSC/shKDM6B/V, and DMSC/shKDM6B/Flag-KDM6B. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 3). For a and d, data are shown as fold expression of target genes after normalization to DMSC/Scrsh. For a, the groups with shKDM6B were compared with Scrsh by using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test. For b, c, d, f and g, all the groups were compared by two-way ANOVA with a Bonferroni post hoc test. Asterisks were assigned to P values with statistical significance (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001)
