Effects of FSS on cell differentiation and gene expression. a FSS can affect the signal expression in MC3T3-E1 cells. The nuclear translocation of P-ERK5 and FoxO3a; FoxO3a nuclear translocation (green fluorescence) and nuclear location (blue fluorescence)132. b Mechanism of FSS on mineralization-related cells. FSS can promote mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into osteoblasts and then promote the further differentiation and orientation of osteoblasts, bone lining cells and osteocytes. More, it can induce the expression of signaling molecules and proteins. Figures adapted with permission from ref. 132
