Abstract:We aimed to evaluate the effects of lactoferrin (LF) on the osteogenic differentiation and related gene expressions of mouse embryonic osteoblast precursor cells MC3T3-E1 under mechanical strain. MC3T3-E1 cells were randomly divided into control, strain loading, LF and strain loading + LF groups. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was measured. Cytoskeletal morphology was measured by rhodamine-phalloidin staining. Formation of mineralized nodules was observed by alizarin red staining. The expressions of diffe… Show more
