Gene expression of fibrin + cells group cultured under 3 mechanical loading conditions. Gene expression was analyzed by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction for (A) SOX9, (B) COL2A1, (C) ACAN, (D) COL2:COL1 (ratio of collagen type II to collagen type I), (E) MMP3, and (F) ADAMTS5. All expression levels are expressed relative to day 0 controls. *Comparison with day 0 controls (P < .05). **Comparison with other time points within the same activation group (P < .05). #Comparison between activation groups at the same time point (P < .05). ACAN, aggrecan; ADAMTS, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs; COL1A1, collagen type I α1; MMP, matrix metalloproteinase; SOX9, SRY-related HGMG box containing gene 9.
