Fig. 3From: Aberrantly expressed messenger RNAs and long noncoding RNAs in degenerative nucleus pulposus cells co-cultured with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cellsReal-time PCR confirmation of gene microarray results. Seven genes (PIK3R3, ENPP1, MT1F, SPP1, EPYC, CD24, C4orf31) were selected for the real-time PCR validation. Control represents nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) from degenerative discs not co-cultured with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs); experimental represents NPCs after co-culturing with ASCs. *P < 0.05 compared with control groupBack to article page
