Figure 1

Sulf mRNA expression in normal and osteoarthritis (OA) cartilage. Sulf-1 and Sulf-2 mRNA expression in articular cartilage were determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction in eight normal (mean age: 20.3 years, range: 19 to 37 years; Mankin score: 0 to 2 points) and eight OA (mean age: 57 years, range: 49 to 68 years; Mankin score: 7 to 10 points) donors. Both Sulf-1 and Sulf-2 expression were significantly higher in the OA group (Sulf-1: P = 0.001, Sulf-2: P = 0.019).
