Expression analysis of MGP in multiple tissue samples from patients and during chondrogenesis. a Expression of MGP was measured by qPCR in OA patient cartilage, infrapatellar fat pad, synovium, trabecular bone, trapezium and blood. b Expression of MGP was measured in hip cartilage from OA patients and patients with a neck-of-femur (NOF) fracture as controls, using RNA-sequencing data. c Expression of MGP transcript isoforms (designated by their Ensembl database identification numbers) was measured using the same RNA-sequencing data. d Expression of MGP during chondrogenesis of immortalised human MSCs. e Expression of MGP during chondrogenesis of bone marrow MSCs from a human donor. In all panels, horizontal lines with bars show the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM)
