Fig. 3From: Cladophora glomerata methanolic extract promotes chondrogenic gene expression and cartilage phenotype differentiation in equine adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal stem cells affected by metabolic syndromeRelative mRNA expression analysis of the chondrogenic marker genes collagen type II, Aggrecan, Sox9, Vimentin, Decorin, and COMP as well as the regulatory miR-140-3p and miR-27b in the C. glomerata-treated and C. glomerata-untreated EqASCsEMS during in vitro-induced chondrogenesis. The results are expressed as the mean of 3 different experiments ± SD. Asterisk (*) refers to comparison of treated groups to untreated EMS cells. Hashtag (#) refers to comparison of treated groups to untreated healthy cells. */#p < 0.05, **/##p < 0.01, ***/###p < 0.001Back to article page
