Figure Legend Snippet: Effects of CdCl 2 on BMP/SMAD pathway. The hBMSCs were exposed to 0, 2.5, or 5.0 μM CdCl 2 and subjected to osteogenic differentiation for 14 days. A and C, Western blots were performed, and (B and D) relative protein levels of BMP-2, BMP-4, BMP-6, BMP-7, SMAD1, p-SMAD1, SMAD4, SMAD5, and p-SMAD1/5/9 were determined. E and F, Expression levels of BMP-2 and BMP-4 were detected by ELISA. These are the results from 3 independent biological replicates experiments (mean ± SD, n = 3). * p < .05, ** p < .01, different from hMSCs in the absence of CdCl 2 . Abbreviations: BMP, bone morphogenetic protein; hBMSC, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell.
Techniques Used: Western Blot, Expressing, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay
Figure Legend Snippet: Association among Cd, BMP-4, and osteoporosis. The mediating role of plasma BMP-4 ligand in the relationship between U-Cd and occurrence of osteoporosis. Causal mediation analysis estimated the indirect effect of U-Cd on osteoporosis through plasma BMP-4 ligand. Abbreviations: BMP, bone morphogenetic protein; CI, confidence interval; DE, direct effect; IE, indirect effect; PM, proportion mediated; U-Cd, urinary cadmium.
Techniques Used: Clinical Proteomics
Figure Legend Snippet: The osteogenic effect of BMP-4 on hBMSCs. The hBMSCs were treated with BMP-4 (50 ng/ml) and/or CdCl 2 (5.0 μM) for 14 days. A, The BMP-4 levels detected by ELISA. B, Mineralization was measured using Alizarin Red S staining. C, Western blots were performed. D, Relative protein levels of Runx2, OSX, SMAD4, and p-SMAD1/5/9 complex were determined. These are the results from 3 independent biological replicates experiments (mean ± SD, n = 3). ∗ p < .05, ** p < .01. Abbreviations: BMP, bone morphogenetic protein; hBMSC, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell.
Techniques Used: Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay, Staining, Western Blot
Figure Legend Snippet: The effects of BMP-4 knockdown on osteogenic differentiation and SMADs. After si-BMP-4 transfect the hBMSCs were osteogenic induction for 14 days. A, Mineralization was measured using Alizarin Red S staining. B, Western blots were performed. C, Relative protein levels of BMP-4, Runx2, OSX, SMAD4, and p-SMAD1/5/9 complex were determined. These are the results from 3 independent biological replicates experiments (mean ± SD, n = 3). ** p < .01.
Techniques Used: Knockdown, Staining, Western Blot
