Figure Lengend Snippet: ACM improves cell proliferation and tendon differentiation of TSPCs by activating MAPK and Integrin pathways. A) Western blot of p‐MEK and MEK in TSPCs after treatment of RCM, RCM+U0126, ACM, or ACM+U0126 for 18 h. B) Western blot of p‐ERK, ERK in TSPCs after treatment of RCM, RCM+U0126, ACM, or ACM+U0126 treatment for 18 h. C) Gene expression of PCNA in different groups at day 3. D) Proliferation of TSPCs measured by CCK‐8 at 1, 3, and 5 days, n = 5 technically independent samples for each group, ** p < 0.01 **** p < 0.0001. E) Gene expression of SCX, TNMD, and MKX in different groups at day 3. Levels at the RCM group were set as 1. Data were shown as Mean ± SD, n = 3 technically independent samples for each group, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01. F) Gene expression of PCNA in different groups at day 3, *** p < 0.001. G) Proliferation of TSPCs measured by CCK‐8 at 1, 3, and 5 days, n = 5 technically independent samples for each group, **** p < 0.0001. H) Gene expression of SCX, TNMD, and MKX in different groups at day 3. Levels at the RCM group were set as 1. Data were shown as Mean ± SD, n = 3 technically independent samples for each group, * p < 0.05.
Article Snippet: When TSPCs reached to 90% confluence, the cells were treated with CMs or CMs combined with 20 μ m U0126 (Selleck, S1102) to inhibit MAPK signaling pathway, or CMs combined with 40 μ m RGD peptides (Selleck, S8008) to inhibit integrin signaling pathway.
