Article Title: BMP-2-Driven Osteogenesis: A Comparative Analysis of Porcine BMSCs and ASCs and the Role of TGF-β and FGF Signaling

doi: 10.3390/biology14060610

Figure Lengend Snippet: Receptor expressions of ALK2, ALK4, ALK6, ALK5, ALK7, BMPR-II in pASC. Grouped representation of the respective receptor expression in the course of osteogenic differentiation (OM +/− BMP-2). From day 19, there is a significant induction of ALK 2, ALK 6, and ALK 5 with the addition of BMP-2. BMPR-II expression in the OM group decreased in OM and tended to stay increased under BMP-2 supplementation from day 19, but was not considered significant (* p ≤ 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01; n = 6, BMP-2 450 ng/mL).

Article Snippet: The respective conjugated antibodies were used for the expressions of ALK3 (Cat. No.: AF436), ALK 5 (Cat. No.: FAB5871), ALK6 (Cat. No.: FAB5051A), TGF-β2-RII (Cat. No.: FAB532P), ALK7 (Cat. No.: FAB77491A), ALK2 (Cat. No.: AF637), ALK4 (Cat. No.: MAB2221), and BMPR-II (Cat. No.: AF811) (by R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), and the pASCs and pBMSCs were compared for their expressions of the specific surface antigens CD45 (Cat. No.: MCA1568GA, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), HLA-DR (human leukocyte antigen–antigen D-related surface molecule) (Cat. No.: MCA2314F, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), CD29 (Cat.
