Omentin-1 and IL-4 expression levels are negatively correlated with OA progression. (A) Omentin-1 levels and (C) IL-4 levels in normal and OA synovial tissue samples retrieved from the GEO dataset; (B) Heatmap showing differentially expressed IL family genes from the GSE82107 dataset; (D) Positive correlation between omentin-1 and IL-4 based on the GSE29746 dataset; (E-H) IHC staining showing that the levels of omentin-1 and IL-4 were higher in human OA synovial tissue than in healthy tissue. Scale bar = 100 µm. (I) qPCR analysis showing that treating OASFs with omentin-1 increased IL family gene expression. n=6 for each group. * p<0.05 vs controls.
