Sodium butyrate (NaB) decreased human periodontal ligament stem cell-mediated bone formation in nude mice. a H&E staining revealed less bone-like tissue formation around HA/TCP in the NaB-treated group compared to the control. b Quantitative measurement of the mineralization area revealed less bone-like tissue formation in the NaB-treated group than in the control. Red lines represent bone-like tissue; HA = HA/TCP; CT = connective tissue. Scale bars, 100 μM. Error bars represent the standard deviation (n = 3). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, using Student’s t test
