Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) activity in the cartilage of osteoarthritis (OA) rats and effects of intra-articular injection of PARP-1 shRNA (short hairpin (sh)-PARP-1). a) Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to analyze the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of PARP-1 in the cartilage of OA rats at different timepoints after anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) plus medial meniscus removal (MMx) surgery. N = 5 in each group at each timepoint. b) RT-qPCR was used to analyze the mRNA expression levels of PARP-1 in the cartilage of OA rats at different timepoints after intra-articular injection of sh-PARP-1. NC, negative control. N = 5 in each group at each timepoint. Data are presented as mean (standard deviation (SD)). **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 compared to sham or control. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunn's multiple comparisons test for b), and two-way ANOVA followed Tukey's multiple comparisons test for a).
