Osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs at the gene and protein levels (A–D) The gene expression of Runx-2, OCN, Col-1, and VEGF after 14 d of osteoinduction (n = 3) (E) A Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expression levels of Runx-2, OCN, Col-1, and VEGF after 14 d of osteoinduction (F–I) Quantitative results of Western blot assays (n = 3). ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001 compared with the BM group, #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 compared with the BM-SCN group.
