It is highly desirable to investigate the unsolved, but highly significant question on whether ESW could stimulate osteogenic differentiation of different types of MSCs under the same experimental conditions (ESW generator/intensity, cell density, outcome measurements, testing parameters) and whether there is a unique signaling pathway shared by the tested MSCs via which ESW exhibits its benefit effects.
Follow-up replication analysis To further validate the SNP association results, we selected the top 4 significant SNPs (including the three significant SNPs (rs1449683, rs167428, and rs308442) after Bonferroni correction and one SNP rs1048201 located at 3′UTR with nearly significant signal) recognized from the discovery study for replication analyses in another independent Han Chinese sample.
Subsequently, we chose to further characterize the regulatory connection between TTF-1 and VEGF for these reasons: (i) Vegf expression perturbation occurs in Ttf-1 mutant mice 22 , 23 , (ii) VEGF was not established as a direct transcriptional target of TTF-1 , (iii) VEGF is a master regulator of angiogenesis 24 , and (iv) Our focused angiogenesis factor expression profiling detected an overall trend of angiogenic factor upregulation by TTF-1 ( Fig. 1B ), suggesting a proangiogenic phenotype associated with the TTF-1-on state.
