Immunohistochemical analysis of ASC collagen gel cultures after 14 days with 100 ng mL−1 rhGDF6 stimulation with and without SMAD1/5/8 (Dorso) or ERK1/2 (U0126) inhibition and no stimulation control. After 14 days culture, constructs stimulated with rhGDF6 demonstrated an increase in aggrecan and type II collagen deposition compared to rhGDF6 stimulated constructs where SMAD1/5/8 and ERK1/2 signalling had been blocked, where levels appeared similar to unstimulated controls. Scale bar, 500 µm.
