Fig. 2From: Human iPSC-derived chondrocytes mimic juvenile chondrocyte function for the dual advantage of increased proliferation and resistance to IL-1βImmune resistance in hiChondrocytes and juvenile chondrocytes compared to adult chondrocytes. Upon IL-1β stimulation (10 ng/ml) gene expression of (a) inflammatory genes (IL6 and CCL2), (b) catabolic genes (MMP3 and ADAMTS4), and (c) chondrocyte regulatory genes (COL2A and SOX9) in hiChondrocytes, juvenile chondrocytes, and adult chondrocytes. *p < 0.01. Gene expression relative to control in the absence of IL-1β for each respective gene. Data represent two independent donors for each chondrocyte type and three replicate experimentsBack to article page
