A slight increase was observed in hBMP4 protein level at 4 h post-transfection ( Figure 2 B), with the 4 μg group having a nearly statistically significant increase ( p = 0.0564).
A slight increase was observed in hBMP4 protein level at 4 h post-transfection ( Figure 2 B), with the 4 μg group having a nearly statistically significant increase ( p = 0.0564).
However, at 24 h post-transfection, BMP4 secretion showed an increasing trend in the 1 μg dose ( p = 0.0754) ( Figure 3 C), while there was a significant increase in BMP4 secretion in the 2 μg dose ( p = 0.0347) ( Figure 3 C).
Furthermore, when we examined P16 and P21 expression, we found that P16 mRNA expression was significantly decreased at the 1 μg and 2 μg doses and showed a decreasing trend in the 4 μg dose and hBMP4 protein groups ( Figure 2 I).
hBMP4 mRNA/LNP treatment showed a trend of pain alleviation and did not change serum hyaluronic acid levels.
