Semaphorin 3A Inhibits Inflammation in Chondrocytes under Excessive Mechanical Stress

Figure 3

Change in gene expression patterns under excessive mechanical stress. ATDC5 cells were subjected to excessive CTS for 1, 3, 6, 12, or 24 h. Gene expression levels of Sema3A, NRP-1and PLXA1 at each time point were determined by qPCR analysis (a–c). Data are expressed as mean ± SD, . , compared to controls at each time point.
