Baicalein acts as the Wnt/β-catenin signaling activator to up-regulate the osteogenesis of PDLCs challenged with LPS. The LPS-decreased expression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling related protein was recovered by baicalein (a). The ALP staining (b) and mineralized nodule formation (c) inhibited by LPS, was found to be restored by Wnt/β-catenin signaling activator, wnt3a. The mRNA (d) and protein (e) expressions of COL-1, RUNX2 and OSX, which were down-regulated by LPS, were significantly increased following the treatment of baicalein. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, statistical significant difference in comparison to cells treated with LPS
