Short 1,25-(OH)2VitD3 pre-treatment effects on osteogenic and angiogenic gene expression of hASCs seeded on PLGA/β-TCP/PCL scaffold after 2 weeks. 30 min 1,25-(OH)2VitD3 pre-treatment increased (a) Ki-67 by 10.8-fold, (b) ALP by 43.2-fold, (c) OPN by 2.4-fold, (d) SPARC by 2.6-fold, decreased (e) VEGF189 by 0.78-fold, and enhanced (f) VDR by 4.9-fold compared to non-treated controls. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 3). PLGA, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid); β-TCP, β-tricalcium phosphate; PCL, Polycaprolactone, Ki-67, proliferation marker; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; OPN, osteopontin; SPARC, osteonectin; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; VDR, vitamin D nuclear receptor. Significantly different from control, **p < .01, ***p < .001.
