Immunolocalization of FAK (red) and nuclei (blue). The merged images show that the treatment of 1 and 2 ppm zinc ions promoted FAK expression significantly. All images are displayed at ×200 magnification. |
Immunolocalization of VCAM-1 (red) and nuclei (blue). The merged images show that the treatment of 1 and 2 ppm zinc ions promoted VCAM-1 expression significantly. All images are displayed at ×200 magnification. |
Protein expression levels of osteogenic markers Runx2, OSX, and OCN of osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells in different concentrations of CM (Runx2, Runt-related transcription factor 2; OSX, osterix; OCN, osteocalcin). Quantification was performed by ImageJ software. Results are presented as mean ± SD (* |
Activation of MAPK/ERK signaling by different concentrations of CM. |
