Fig. 3From: From osteoarthritic synovium to synovial-derived cells characterization: synovial macrophages are key effector cellsEvaluation of inflammatory and anabolic factors released by passage 1 (p.1) and passage 5 (p.5) synovial cells from osteoarthritic moderate-grade synovitis. IL6, CXCL8/IL8, CCL2/monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), CCL3/macrophage inflammatory protein 1α (MIP1α), CCL5/RANTES, and IL10 were evaluated in the supernatant of both p.1 and p.5 synovial cells as described in “Methods”. Data are expressed as the median and interquartile range (n = 22). *Significant differences between synoviocytes at p.1 and p.5: p < 0.005Back to article page
