Fourteen-day differentiation study of PDGFRβ+/c-kit+ pulp cells under 10 ng/ml growth factor treatments. a BMP2 stimulated maximal DMP1 expressions on day 7. PDGF-BB inhibited DMP1 on day 14 when compared with mineralization media alone. b Compared with mineralization media alone, BMP2 significantly enhanced DSPP expressions on day 7 and 14, and PDGF-BB greatly inhibited DSPP on day 14. c. Compared with mineralization media alone, BMP2 significantly increased OCN expressions on day 3 and 7, and PDGF-BB greatly inhibited OCN on day 14. * denotes p < 0.05 compared with mineralization media alone
