The effect of TNFRSF11B overexpression on osteogenesis of UCMSCs and FOB1.19. (A) Representative images of ALP staining in control or TNFRSF11B-OE transfected UCMSCs following osteogenic induction (Scale bar: 200 μm). (B) Quantification of ALP staining intensity was executed utilizing ImageJ software. (C) The expression levels of RUNX2, OCN, and TNFRSF11B in control and TNFRSF11B-OE UCMSCs were measured through qRT-PCR analysis. Comparisons were made to the control group. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01. (D) ALP staining of FOB1.19 cells treated with or without UCMSCs-CM (control-CM, TNFRSF11B-OE-CM) for 3 days (Scale bar: 200 μm). (E) ALP staining intensity was quantified using ImageJ software. (F) The expression of osteogenesis-related genes in FOB1.19 cells, with or without control-CM and TNFRSF11B-OE-CM treatment, was examined by qRT-PCR. Blank represents the group without UCMSCs-CM treatment. Comparisons were made to the control group. NS: Not Significant
