Figure 1. The expression of miR-634 in human normal and OA chondrocytes.

Figure 1

Normal chondrocytes obtained from 6 donors with amputation operation and OA chondrocytes obtained from 15 patients who underwent total joint arthroplasty were cultured. All cartilage samples were divided into 3 groups according to a Kellgren/Lawrence Criterion: normal cartilage (K/L, Grade 0) for Normal group, low grade OA cartilage (K/L Grade I & II) for Mild group, and high grade OA cartilage (K/L, Grade III & IV) for Moderate and Severe group. The gene expression of microRNA-634 was measured using qPCR technique as described in the Materials and Methods. The values represent the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments, each yielding similar results (*P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001).
