Figure 5. Expression of matrix remodeling-associated molecules.

Figure 5

Real-time PCR analysis of matrix molecule (aggrecan and collagen II) expression and matrix remodeling enzyme (ADAMTS-4, MMP-3, TIMP-1, and TIMP-3) expression in NP cells of porcine discs subjected to different compression magnitudes. The data are expressed as the means ± S.D., n=3. # and &: indicate a significant difference compared with the control and 0.1 MPa groups respectively. *: indicates a significant difference between two groups (P<0.05).
