Figure 3

Effect of naproxen (Npx) on mineral deposition by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium. Alizarin red S staining of mineral deposition in the extracellular matrix after MSCs were cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium without (control) (A) or with 100 μg/mL Npx (B) for 21 days (bar represents 50 μm); (C) the absorbance value of solubilized alizarin red S measured at 570 nm. The results are shown as mean ± SD of three independent experiments with MSCs isolated from three different donors. P <0.05 was determined as statistically significant.
