Circ_0099630 and osteogenic markers were overexpressed in iPDLCs. A, RT-qPCR evaluation of circ_0099630 expression in iPDLCs and hPDLCs. B, WB detection of OSX, ALP, and RUNX2 protein levels in iPDLCs and hPDLCs.
**P < .01 and ***P < .001.
ALP, alkaline phosphatase; hPDLC, healthy periodontal ligament cell; iPDLC, inflamed periodontal ligament cell; OSX, osterix; RT-qPCR, reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction; WB, Western blotting.
