    Comparative effects of BMP9 and <t>BMP2</t> on osteogenic differentiation and osteoclastogenesis in vitro. (A) Real‐time PCR analysis of key osteogenic genes (Col1, Runx2, ALP, and OCN) in MC3T3‐E1 cells treated with 8 nM of BMP2 or BMP9 for 3, 5, and 7 days. All gene‐expression levels were normalized to GAPDH. (B) Western blot analysis of osteogenic marker proteins in cell lysates harvested after 7 days of treatment with BMP2 or BMP9. GAPDH was used as the loading control. Densitometric quantification of band intensities (integrated density) normalized to GAPDH is shown below the blots and presented as relative protein expression. (C) Western blot showing dose‐dependent p‐Smad1/5/9 in MC3T3‐E1 cells exposed to varying concentrations of BMP2 or BMP9. Phosphorylation was quantified by densitometry and expressed as fold change vs. control after normalization using [(p‐Smad1/5/9)/(total Smad1/5/9)] and further normalized to GAPDH, as shown in the graph below the blots. Asterisks indicate statistical significance for pairwise comparisons between BMP2 and BMP9 at the same concentration (****, p < 0.0001), unless otherwise indicated. (D) ALP activity and representative images of ALP staining in MC3T3‐E1 cultures after 7 days of induction with BMP2 or BMP9. (E) Alizarin Red S staining illustrating mineralized nodule formation after extended culture with BMP2 or BMP9. (F) Representative TRAP‐stained images of RAW 264.7‐derived osteoclasts following treatment with RANKL (3 nM), BMP2 (8 nM), or BMP9 (8 nM) for 5 days. TRAP‐positive multinucleated osteoclasts are indicated by arrows. Scale bar, 20 μm. (G) Quantification of TRAP‐positive multinucleated cells per well. Data are presented as the mean ± SD ( n = 3 independent experiments), and p ‐values were calculated using one‐way analysis of variance (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001). BMP, bone morphogenetic protein; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; Col1, collagen type I; Runx2, runt‐related transcription factor 2; OCN, osteocalcin; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase.

    Comparative effects of BMP9 and BMP2 on osteogenic differentiation and osteoclastogenesis in vitro. (A) Real‐time PCR analysis of key osteogenic genes (Col1, Runx2, ALP, and OCN) in MC3T3‐E1 cells treated with 8 nM of BMP2 or BMP9 for 3, 5, and 7 days. All gene‐expression levels were normalized to GAPDH. (B) Western blot analysis of osteogenic marker proteins in cell lysates harvested after 7 days of treatment with BMP2 or BMP9. GAPDH was used as the loading control. Densitometric quantification of band intensities (integrated density) normalized to GAPDH is shown below the blots and presented as relative protein expression. (C) Western blot showing dose‐dependent p‐Smad1/5/9 in MC3T3‐E1 cells exposed to varying concentrations of BMP2 or BMP9. Phosphorylation was quantified by densitometry and expressed as fold change vs. control after normalization using [(p‐Smad1/5/9)/(total Smad1/5/9)] and further normalized to GAPDH, as shown in the graph below the blots. Asterisks indicate statistical significance for pairwise comparisons between BMP2 and BMP9 at the same concentration (****, p < 0.0001), unless otherwise indicated. (D) ALP activity and representative images of ALP staining in MC3T3‐E1 cultures after 7 days of induction with BMP2 or BMP9.

TRAP‐positive multinucleated osteoclasts are indicated by arrows. Scale bar, 20 μm. (G) Quantification of TRAP‐positive multinucleated cells per well. Data are presented as the mean ± SD ( n = 3 independent experiments), and p ‐values were calculated using one‐way analysis of variance (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001).
