Fig. 7.
(A) Total collagen per 5-mm-diameter sample, (B) total s-GAG per 5-mm-diameter sample, and (C) total DNA per 5-mm sample. (D) Total specific activity of MMPs released from cartilage constructs with or without IL-1, measured in culture media over 48 h at day 3, day 7, day 14, or day 28 of chondrogenesis. At day 28, groups with different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05) by ANOVA and Fisher’s least significant difference post hoc (mean ± SEM, n = 3). At the other time points, there was no significant interaction term by ANOVA. At day 14, there were main effects of media and vector. At day 7, there was a main effect of vector.
