Changes in aggrecan, type II collagen and type I collagen gene expression. Changes in aggrecan (AGG), type II collagen COL2A1 (COL II) and type I collagen COL1A1 (COL I) gene expression of the annulus fibrosus (AF) and nucleus pulposus (NP) 2 weeks after Link N or saline injections. Gene expression was measured by RT-PCR. GAPDH was used as a housekeeping gene and served to normalize the results. Values represent the mean ± standard deviation of Link N-injected discs normalized to saline-treated discs (*P < 0.001).
