High Expression of Acid-Sensing Ion Channel 2 (ASIC2) in Bone Cells in Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures

Figure 6

The fold increase of each subtype of ASICs (ASICs, ASICs 1, 2, 3, and 4) expression, using the method, from human cancellous bone cells in osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) and nonosteoporotic bone (the control). The ASIC2 was the gene with the highest expression, with a 65.93-fold increase in the biopsied cancellous bone cells in OVF compared with the control. ASICs 1, 3, and 4 were expressed with 0.35-, 7.90-, and 6.46-fold increases, respectively. p<0.05.
