Fig. 5. NEAT1 improves adipogenesis and attenuates osteogenesis in aged BMSCs.

Fig. 5

A Western blotting revealed that osteogenesis was significantly attenuated in aged BMSCs, while adipogenesis was markedly strengthened. B–D Alizarin red staining, qRT-PCR, and western blotting showed that si-NEAT1 rescued the osteogenesis decline in aged BMSCs. E–G Alizarin red staining, qRT-PCR, and western blotting showed that NEAT1 overexpression decreased osteogenesis in young BMSCs. HL Oil red O staining, qRT-PCR, and western blotting showed that NEAT1 promoted adipogenesis. Scale bar: 200 μm. The results were presented as means ± S.D. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; #p > 0.05 by Student’s t test and one-way ANOVA.
