Fig. 1

The osteogenic gene and protein expression of primary osteoblasts under mechanical tensile loading for 6, 12, 24, and 48 h. (A) The relative gene expressions of Osterix, COL-I, OCN, Runx2, and ALP were increased over time. (B) The protein levels of Osterix, COL-I, OCN, Runx2, and ALP were determined by western blots and their densitometric analysis. Bars represent mean ± SD, *p < 0.05, compared with the control group (0 h group)
