Regulation of Hypoxia-Induced Cell Death in Human Tenocytes
Figure 1
Human tenocytes express stable levels of scleraxis, collagen and aggrecan until passage 5 but scleraxis drops between passage 5 and 8. Human tenocytes from 3 individual donors were cultured in 10% FCS-containing medium under normoxia. (a) the expression of tenocyte ACAN, COL1A1, and Scx was quantified by rtq-PCR with β-actin as house-keeper.
