Pre-treatment and post-treatment of porcine articular cartilage with Ucn reduces trauma-induced cell death. Representative confocal images of porcine articular cartilage explants 72 h post-impact with or without Ucn pre-treatment (a) or post-treatment (d). Viable cells shown in green (CMFDA) and dead cells in red (PI). Quantification of percentage cell death 72 h post-impact with or without Ucn pre-treatment (b) or post-treatment (e) (n = 6 explants, 5 fields of view/explant; # = p < 0.01 vs. non-treated, * = p < 0.01 vs. impact). LDH absorbance readings from media collected at 72 h post-impact with or without Ucn pre-treatment (c) or post-treatment (f) (n = 6 explants; # = p < 0.01 vs. non-treated, * = p < 0.01 vs. impact).
