FIGURE 7.
Protein secretion of Col I (A), MMP1 (B), MMP2 (C), and TIMP1 (D) from bursa-derived cells after 1 and 4 h of mechanical loading per day for 3 days at 1 Hz. The values are given as fold to the unstimulated control cells (line at 1). MMP1 secretion was below the detection limit in one or two of five donors for the 1 and 4 h stimulations, respectively. MMP3 secretion was below the detection limit in all samples. Statistics: Dunn’s multiple comparison test for n = 5 individual donors. A spanning line with asterisk or a # marks significant difference with a p-value of < 0.05. A dashed spanning line or a gray # marks differences with a p-value of < 0.1.
