Correlation analysis of TN-C protein and mRNA in cartilage vs. TN-C protein in synovial fluid of OA patients

TN-C protein in cartilage TN-C protein in SF
TN-C mRNA in cartilage rs = 0.9286
P = 0.0005
rs = 0.8080
P = 0.0059

TN-C protein in cartilage rs = 0.8696
P = 0.0022

Note: TN-C in the synovial was measured in the ELISA that quantifies only large variants of TN-C. SF: synovial fluid; N = 7 each from the same individuals; Spearman rank order was used for correlation analysis; P indicates p values.
