Fig. 5From: Genistein contributes to cell cycle progression and regulates oxidative stress in primary culture of osteoblasts along with osteoclasts attenuationEffect of GS on mRNA levels of osteogenic genes and immunolocalization of the BMP2 protein in osteoblasts. Rat calvarial osteoblasts were treated with different concentrations 1, 5 and 10 μM of GS for 48 h. Absolute qPCR was performed to analyze the mRNA expressions of (a) Runx2 (b) BMP2 and (c) Osteocalcin genes in osteoblasts. d Photomicrographs show the immunofluorescence staining of BMP2 under inverted fluorescence microscope; magnification = 20x and scale bar = 0.1 mm. Values were obtained from three independent experiments performed in the triplicate set and expressed as mean ± SEM; *P < 0.05Back to article page
