Figure 5. Osteogenesis was maintained in both groups. (A) Representative images of Alizarin red staining two weeks after induction of osteogenesis in the trunk and foot fibroblasts of WS1. Bar = 300 μm. (B) Quantification of relative stained area with Alizarin red. Data are means ± SEM of two patients with four microscopic views. For statistical analysis, student t-test was performed (ns, not significant). (C) Relative gene expression analyzed by qRT-PCR. Data are means ± SEM of two patients with three technical replicates. For statistical analysis, student t-test was performed (ns, not significant; *p<0.05; **p<0.01).
