Real-time PCR of selected genes in ACL progenitor cells and chondrocytes. To get some insights into the role of total POSTN and POSTN isoform 1 on selected genes from RNA-seq analysis, we found that MARCKS, HIST1H3I, and PCDHB5 were more highly expressed in ACL progenitor cells (n = 5) than in chondrocytes (n = 6) and that MAL2, DLEC1, and LRP1B were significantly more highly expressed in chondrocytes than in ACL progenitor cells. Lowercase letters (a) in each graph represent statistical significance from each other at P < 0.05.
