Platelet-Released Growth Factors Modulate the Secretion of Cytokines in Synoviocytes under Inflammatory Joint Disease

Effects of PRGF on synoviocyte viability and proliferation. The influence of PRGF on K4IM cell viability was determined by CTB cell viability assay (a). The addition of 5%, 10%, and 20% PRGF increase significantly the cell viability after 24 hours. The influence of PRGF on K4IM cell proliferation was determined by CyQuant cell proliferation assay (b). Different concentrations of PRGF induce the higher proliferation rate in K4IM cells compared to the group without PRGF. Significant versus the control group without PRGF, .
