Cells were treated with 100nM 1,25(OH)2D3 or ethanol vehicle for 24 hours.
Growth protocol
MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in alpha MEM with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum from Hyclone (Logan, UT) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. Differentiated cells were cultured in complete media plus 10mM glycerol-2-phosphate and 50ug/mL ascorbic acid for 15 days, changing media every 2-3 days.
