Figure 2. Osteogenesis-related genes expressed in relatively high levels by ameloblast-lineage cells derived from pooled teeth in the cap and bell stages. There were no differences detected between 10-µM-NaF-treated groups and the control cells. Average (SD) values of normalized signal strength of the gene tested: (Control) ITGA3, 0.42 (0.16); COL17A1, 0.29 (0.20); TNF{alpha}, 0.32 (0.14); EGFR, 0.61 (0.25); FN1, 1.03 (0.39); GAPDH 1 (0); ITGB1, 0.39 (0.19); RUNX2, 0.71 (0.29); VEGF, 0.18 (0.05); (10-µM-NaF-treated groups) ITGA3, 0.22 (0.04); COL17A1, 0.18 (0.09); TNF{alpha}, 0.22 (0.08); EGFR, 0.47 (0.06); FN1, 0.83 (0.28); GAPDH 1 (0); ITGB1, 0.40 (0.20); RUNX2, 0.74 (0.10); VEGF, 0.24 (0.22) (n = 3).
