From: Effects of Wnt3A and mechanical load on cartilage chondrocyte homeostasis
Effects of tensile strain and Wnt3A, separately or combined, on catabolic proteinase transcription in chondrocytes. Untreated chondrocytes served as controls. (A) MMP3, (B) MMP13, (C) ADAMTS-4 and (D) ADAMTS-5 gene expression levels analysed immediately or (E), (F), (G) and (H) following a four-hour recovery period respectively (refer to Figure 2 for calculations and statistical significance).
