[Retracted] Novel Hybrid Gels Made of High and Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid Induce Proliferation and Reduce Inflammation in an Osteoarthritis In Vitro Model Based on Human Synoviocytes and Chondrocytes

Figure 7

mRNA expression analysis of IL-6 and IL-8 in human synoviocytes isolated from osteoarthritic synovial fluid through qRT-PCR. (a) Quantitative gene expression of IL-6 and IL-8 in primary synoviocytes after 24 h of treatment with H-HA and HCC 0.32% w/v with respect to UT-S. (b) Gene expression of IL-6 and IL-8 in synoviocytes after 48 h of treatment with H-HA and HCC 0.32% w/v with respect to UT-S. Data shown are means ± SD. Significant differences between H-HA and HCC versus UT-S and H-HA versus HCC are indicated with asterisks p<0.05, #p<0.01.
