Table 1 Comparison of GAG/DNA accumulation within pellets treated with CTR, Chondroitinsulfate or NCCM medium

From: Notochordal cell conditioned medium (NCCM) regenerates end-stage human osteoarthritic articular chondrocytes and promotes a healthy phenotype

 

GAG/DNA pellets (μg/μg)

  1. Values are mean ± SD. Control (CTR) media comprised 2 % FBS-supplemented advanced DMEM/F-12. The chondroitin sulfate (CS) medium comprised Ctr medium supplemented with 1 mg/mL CS. NCCM was supplemented with 2 % FBS. The accumulation of GAG/DNA in pellets treated with NCCM was clearly superior to CTR and CS, demonstrating that the effects of NCCM are not due to CS.
