Fig. 4. Effect of PDGFRβ deletion in periosteal cells on BMP2 downstream signaling.

Fig. 4

Ad-Cre deletion of PDGFRβ showed decrease in expression at (a) protein and (b) mRNA level. c BMP2 induced expression of Alp, Noggin, Id1 and Dlx5, while PDGF BB treatment blocked their upregulation in combined PPDGF BB + BMP2 treatment. Deletion of PDGFRβ using Ad-Cre partially restored Alp expression upon combined BMP2 + PDGF BB treatment. n = 3. Values are expressed as mean ± s.e.m. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, # different from its vehicle treatment control. Statistical test: Two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test.
