Figure 2

Collagen types I and II, and SOX9 gene expression in human meniscus cells. (a, b) Collagen type I alpha 2 (COL1A2) gene expression levels of cell aggregate cultures of (panel a) outer and (panel b) inner meniscus cells (n = 6) in 5% oxygen versus 20% oxygen. (c, d) Collagen type II alpha 1 (COL2A1) gene expression in aggregate cultures of (panel c) outer and (panel d) inner meniscus cells (n = 6) in 5% oxygen versus 20% oxygen. (e, f) SOX9 (Sry-related HMG box-9) gene expression levels of aggregate cultures of (panel e) outer and (panel f) inner meniscus cells (n = 6) in 5% oxygen versus 20% oxygen. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 (by Student's unpaired t-test).
