TGF-β1 mRNA expression. The relative expression of TGF-β1 mRNA was evaluated in cultured BMSCs 20 days after the introduction of serum treated with water (control, group A); a low concentration of QEF (group B); a medium concentration of QEF (group C); and a high concentration of QEF (group D). The expression observed in group B (1.21 ± 0.18) was not significantly different from group A (1.00 ± 0.16, P > 0.05), while the expression in groups C and D (6.23 ± 1.21 and 5.03 ± 1.01, respectively) were significantly higher than those of group A (P < 0.05). Values are expressed as the mean fold change ± SD, with the control group being set to 1; ★P < 0.05 compared to group A
