Fig. 3: SOX5 inhibits HUVEC angiogenesis and hFOB1.19 cell osteogenesis by promoting EZH2 expression.

A The transduction efficiency of SOX5 and EZH2 in cells validated with RT-qPCR; B immunoblotting analysis of the expression of SOX5 and EZH2 cells; C immunoblotting analysis of the expression of osteogenesis-related markers (OCN, Runx2, and Collagen I) in hFOB1.19 cells; D quantitative analysis of ALP activity of hFOB1.19 cells; E quantitative analysis of calcium deposition of hFOB1.19 cells by alizarin red S staining; F the migration of HUVECs determined with Transwell assay; G the tube-forming ability of HUVECs with total network area, total length, and the number of branch points determined with capillary-like tube formation assay. Cell experiment was repeated three times independently. *p < 0.05.
