Figure 7 Western blotting quantification of protein levels.
A-H: Western blotting quantification of osteopontin (A), bone morphogenetic protein-2 (B), Bcl-2 (C), caspase3 (D), BAX (E), Smad3 (F), p-Smad3 (G), transforming growth factor-β (H) levels. aP < 0.05, bP < 0.01, NS: P > 0.05. OPN: Osteopontin; BMP-2: Bone morphogenetic protein-2; TGF-β: Transforming growth factor-β; M-nHAPs: Medium concentration nanoscale hydroxyapatites; M-CNPs: Medium concentration calcifying nanoparticles.
