Induction of TG2 in dedifferentiated chondrocytes. Human articular chondrocytes were passed until passage 5 in normal growth medium. (A) COL2A1, SOX9 and (B) TG2 mRNA expression levels in human articular chondrocytes were measured by real-time qPCR. * p < 0.05. n = 3. (C) TG2 protein expression levels in human articular chondrocytes were detected by Western blotting using anti-TG2 polyclonal antibody. Asterisks denote other TGs. TG2 antibody cross-reacts with other transglutaminases. GAPDH and β-actin expressions were examined as a loading control.
