P-PRP downregulates more extensive catabolic responses. P-PRP and L-PRP both significantly downregulated the gene expression of MMPs (MMP-1, MMP-13) when compared with the control (a, b). P-PRP significantly downregulated the above catabolic genes compared with L-PRP. Asterisks represent significant differences when compared with the respective control, and the pound symbols indicate significant differences between L-PRP and P-PRP (P < 0.05). L-PRP leukocyte-platelet-rich plasma, MMP matrix metalloproteinase, P-PRP pure platelet-rich plasma
