The effect of cyclic mechanical tension (CMT) with 20% elongation on the redox state of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. (A) The production of ROS in NP cells subjected to CMT with 20% elongation for different duration. (B) The quantitative PCR analysis of methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrbA), Msrb1 and Msrb2 in NP cells subjected to CMT with 20% elongation for 24 h. Error bars represent standard error of the mean (SEM). Control, NP cells that were cultured under the same conditions and were kept static; 20%, CMT with 20% elongation.
