Figure 6. Effects of biomechanical stress on chondrocyte ECM expression.

Figure 6

(a) The expression of COL2A1, aggrecan, MMP1, MMP13, and ADAMTS5 was analyzed by qPCR in chondrocytes with CTS and control. The results are expressed as mean ± SEM of at least three independent experiments (*P < 0.05, **p < 0.01). (b) Toluidine blue staining and Alcian blue staining for chondrocytes stimulated with CTS and control.
