Figure Lengend Snippet: PDGFRA + DFSCs do not show functional superiority over PDGFRA − DFSCs in vitro. a Representative images of colonies formed by DFSCs (scale bar = 250 μm) and EdU staining images showing DFSC proliferation (scale bar = 50 μm). b Alizarin red S staining images showing DFSC osteogenesis. Scale bar = 100 μm. c Quantification of colony diameter in CFU assay. d Quantification of EdU + cells percent (%). e Quantification of fold change of mineralized area. f Quantification of the fold change of ALP activity. Data were presented as mean ± SD. n = 3 per group. ns not significant ( P > 0.05)
Article Snippet: DFSCs and SCAP were seeded in 24-well plates (Corning, USA) at 1 × 10 4 cells per well and incubated for 24 h. Cells were then treated with EdU at a working concentration of 10 μmol/L in 200 μL of culture medium for 48 h. Afterward, the cells were detected using a VF 488 Click-iT EdU universal cell proliferation detection kit (HY-K1087, MCE, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
