Relative gene expression of extracellular matrix proteins; (A) aggrecan, (B) type II collagen and (C) type I collagen. Gene expression levels were first normalized to the housekeeping gene, 18s ribosomal RNA and plotted relative to protein expression levels in MAX8 hydrogels at 2 weeks. RNA extracted from freshly isolated primary chondrocytes (P0) or chondrocytes at passage 15 (P15) served as controls.
