From: Microenvironmental changes during differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells towards chondrocytes
Time-course expression of chemokines and their receptors during chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The gene-expression profile of MSCs (n = 2) was analysed by real-time PCR during their differentiation towards chondrocytes in micropellets. (a) Change in the expression levels of various chemokines. (b) Change in the expression levels of various chemokine receptors. CCL, chemokine CC motif ligand; CCR, chemokine CC motif receptor; CXCL, chemokine CXC motif ligand; CXCR, chemokine CXC motif receptor; FlT3L, Fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; PCR, polymerase chain reaction.
