Sialidase-treated synovial fibroblasts show an enhanced inflammatory response. (A) mRNA expression as detected by RNA-Seq from Figure 3 for MMP3, MMP9, MMP13, IL-6, CCL2, Myd88, Nfκbib, Tnfsf11 and Tnfrsf11b. (B–E) RNA was isolated from control (NT) and C. perfringens sialidase treated (CP) naïve SFs. Relative expression of the genes shown in (A) was assessed by RT-qPCR using the ΔΔCt method and actin as housekeeping gene. (B) IL-6 and CCL2, (C) MMP3, MMP9 and MMP13, (D) Myd88 and Nfκbib, and (E) Tnfsf11 and Tnfrsf11b. For (B–E), each dot represents one independent experiment, error bars represent SEM (n = 5), *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 evaluated by Mann-Whitney test. NS, non-significant.
