NAC treatment upregulates the expression of tenogenic differentiation factors in TSPCs. TSPCs were treated with, or without, NAC for 1 or 2 weeks and the levels of SCX, TNC, TNMD, and COLIA1 protein expression were determined by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. A. Immunofluorescence analysis of tenogenic differentiation factor expression in TSPCs. Data are representative images or expressed as the mean ± SD of each group from three separate experiments. B Western blot analysis of the expression of tenogenic differentiation factors in TSPCs. * P < 0.05; **P < 0.01
