PTHrP affected the expression of COL10A1 without other markers of chondrocyte hypertrophy in cocultured pellets with interaction indices > 1 (i.e., Responders). Pellets were lyzed in TRIzol and the RNA was extracted. cDNA was synthesized and gene expression was analyzed by qPCR. The expression of chondrogenic genes: (A) ACAN, (B) COL2A1, (C) SOX9, (D) COL1A2, (E) MMP13, (F) COL10A1, (G) IHH, (H) ALPL, and (I) ID1 were examined. Expression of each gene was normalized to B2M, HMBS, and YWHAZ and expressed as the 2– Δ Δ Ct value, shown on the y-axis. The x-axis indicates the sample and treatment. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA with Games-Howell post hoc test of unequal variances assumed (three donors in total; two donors in duplicates at 250,000 cells per pellet and one donor in duplicates at 500,000 cells per pellet; n = 6; *p < 0.05).
