Figure Lengend Snippet: Specificity of BMP photoactivation. A) The phosphorylated Smad 2 (pSmad2) expression level in ADSCs 3 h and 24 h after photostimulation, BMP2 (100 ng mL −1 ) and DEX (10 n m ) treated (n = 16 fields in 3 independent trials for each group). B) The phosphorylated p38 (p‐p38) level in ADSCs 6 h (Control, n = 15 fields in 3 independent trials; Laser, n = 10 fields in 3 independent trials; BMP2 and DEX, n = 18 fields in 3 independent trials for both) and 24 h (Control, n = 17 fields in 3 independent trials; Laser, n = 10 fields in 3 independent trials; BMP2 and DEX, n = 17 fields in 3 independent trials for both) after laser or drug‐treated. C) The β‐catenin level in ADSCs 24 h (Control, BMP2, and DEX, n = 17 fields in 3 independent trials for each; Laser, n = 12 fields in 3 independent trials) and 72 h (n = 15 fields in 3 independent trials for each group) after laser or drug‐treated. D) The phosphorylated eIF4E (eIF4E‐p) level in ADSCs 24 h and 72 h after photostimulation (with or without the depletion of intercellular Ca 2+ ) and drug‐treated (n = 14 fields in 3 independent trials for 24 h after photostimulation with the depletion of intercellular Ca 2+ , n = 17 fields in 3 independent trials for others). E) The pSmad1/5/8 level in ADSCs 24 h after photostimulation, in the presence of U0126 (20 µ m , n = 13 fields in 3 independent trials) and LGK974 (5 µ m , n = 12 fields in 3 independent trials), compared with the group without any drugs (n = 19 fields in 4 independent trials). F) The immunofluorescence and quantified level of pSmad1/5/8 in PC3 cells 24 h after photostimulation, with (Control, n = 11 fields in 3 independent trials; Laser, n = 12 fields in 3 independent trials) or without (Control, n = 15 fields in 3 independent trials; Laser, n = 18 fields in 4 independent trials) the presence of LDN193189 (1 µ m ). Scale bar: 20 µm. G) Schematic diagram of the BMP photoactivation process. Comparison was taken with Control. * P < 0.05, *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001, by two‐tailed unpaired t ‐test. N.S., no significant difference.
