Figure Lengend Snippet: CAPN1 promoted the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs . (A) Representative images with CAPN1 -overexpressed in hPDLSCs. Scale bar = 50 μm. (B) Representative Western blot of CAPN1 in hPDLSCs after lentivirus transfection and quantification of the images. (C) Relative expression level of CAPN1 in hPDLSCs after lentivirus transfection. (D) ARS staining in hPDLSCs with or without lentivirus transfection. Scale bar = 200 μm. (E) Representative Western blot of CAPN1 expression in hPDLSCs following siRNAs treatment and quantification of the images. (F) Relative mRNA expression of CAPN1 in hPDLSCs following siRNAs treatment. (G) Relative mRNA expression of CAPN1, ALP, COL1Α1 , and RUNX2 on osteogenic day 0, 7, and 14 of hPDLSCs with or without lentivirus transfection. (H) ARS staining in hPDLSCs treated with siRNAs. Scale bar = 200 μm. (I) ARS staining in hPDLSCs following Calpeptin treatment. Scale bar = 200 μm. (J) Relative mRNA expression of CAPN1, ALP, COL1Α1 , and RUNX2 on osteogenic day 0,7, and 14 of hPDLSCs following siRNAs treatment. (K) Relative mRNA expression of CAPN1, ALP, COL1Α1 , and RUNX2 on osteogenic day 0, 7, and 14 of hPDLSCs following Calpeptin treatment. Mean ± SD was employed to express all data (ns P > .05, ∗ P < .05, ∗∗ P < .01, *** P < .001).
Article Snippet: The 20 μg/mL antibody IgG (Santa Cruz) and CAPN1 (Santa Cruz) combined with the magnetic beads that had been treated, and the mixture was incubated overnight at 4°C in a flipping suspension apparatus (Bio-Rad).
