OCN production was augmented by higher phosphate concentrations in DPCs compared with SMCs. OCN concentrations in cell lysates were measured using ELISA for biological triplicate experiments. Normalized OCN levels were calculated based on total protein concentrations as the ratio of OCN/total protein (ng/ml/µg protein), and values are expressed as means ± SEMs. **p < 0.001 for comparisons between samples; †p < 0.001 versus SMCs or DPCs on day 0.
