Effects of mechanical loading on the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory genes in AFCs. (A) qPCR analyses of relative expression of pro-inflammatory genes (Cox2, Tnfa, Il1b and Il6) in AFCs under different mechanical conditions. (B) qPCR analyses of relative expression of pro-inflammatory genes (Cox2, Tnfa, Il1b and Il6) in AFCs treated with 5% CTS in the presence or absence of IL-1β. (*p<0.05, nsp>0.05 vs. Ctrl). The error bars indicate SD. N = 3.
