Article Title: Cytokine expression of soft tissue cells cultured with titanium discs and their respective supernatants in vitro
doi: 10.1007/s00784-024-06123-1
Figure Lengend Snippet: Bone marrow-derived cells were exposed to supernatants ( A , C ) and titanium discs ( B , C ) from each group in the presence of M-CSF, RANKL, and TGF-β (MRT). A , B Gene expression levels of TRAP and CTSK were normalized to untreated cells. Different symbol shapes in the graphs represents independent experiments. The SBF coating resulted in decreased TRAP and CTSK expression, but this was not reflected in TRAP staining. Statistical analysis was performed using ratio-paired t-tests, with p-values indicated. C Representative TRAP-stained images show that osteoclast formation was not significantly suppressed by SLA, SBF, or SBF + ODN disc and respective supernatants
Article Snippet: The discs were immersed and incubated in SBF containing either no or 260 µg/mL of odanacatib (ODN, MedChemExpress LLC, Monmouth Junction, NJ) at pH 7.25 and 37 °C for 4 days.
