Quantification of cytokines in cell-free cartilage explant supernatants. Concentrations of (A) interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), (B) IL-6, and (C) IL-8 were determined in cell-free healthy (white bars) and osteoarthritis (OA) cartilage (grey bars) explant cultures kept in chondrogenic medium for 7 or 28 days. Results are presented as mean with standard deviation. *P <0.05; **P <0.01; ***P <0.001; N = 5. n.d., not determined.
