Assessment of inflammation in the synovial membrane. A Representative images of normal and osteoarthritic (OA) synovial membrane stained with hematoxylin/eosin. The scale bar is set at 100 µM. B OARSI scoring of normal (circle) and OA (square) synovial membrane. The total OARSI score consists of the sum of the individual categories; lining cell characteristics, lining characteristics (not shown), and the evaluation of cellular infiltration. C RT-qPCR analysis of markers of the synovial membrane and synovitis. Gene expression is shown on a log scale as the relative gene expression compared to the mean of all samples within a gene. IL-1β was not detected (ND) in the normal samples. Each dot represents an individual donor. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01
