Osteogenic marker gene expression, in vivo. At eight weeks post-surgery, osteogenic marker gene expression measured by means of qRT-PCR and normalized to RPLP1 and YWHAZ (housekeeping genes). (A) TGF-ß1, (B) BMP2, (C) RunX2, (D) ColIa2, (E) Osterix, (F) Osteopontin and (G) Calmodulin expression were significantly higher at eight weeks in the experimental in comparison to sham and control groups. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 5), (*p < 0.05).
