Mv1Lu cells were transfected with PAI-1 gene, then treated with (A) TGF-β1 (0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 ng/mL) and (B) Emd-Gel (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 µg/mL). C2C12 cells were transfected with Id1 gene, and then treated with (C) BMP2 (50, 100, 150, 200, 250 ng/mL) and (D) Emd-Gel (25, 50, 75, 100, 125 µg/mL). Luciferase activity was determined after an overnight incubation. Data are means ± SE of 4 culture wells. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001.

Mv1Lu cells were transfected with PAI-1 gene, and C2C12 cells were transfected with Id1 gene. These cells were then treated with fractionated Emd-Gel. Luciferase activity was determined after an overnight incubation. Data are means ± SE of 4 culture wells. *p < 0.05.

C2C12 cells were transfected with Id1 gene, then treated with (A) 100 ng/mL BMP2 and 10 ng/mL TGF-β1, and with (B) BMP-like fraction (fractions 4-6) in Emd-Gel added to TGF-β and TGF-β-like fraction (fractions 8-13) in Emd-Gel. Luciferase activity was measured after an overnight incubation. Data are means ± SE of 4 culture wells. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001.
