Increased Expression of Sox9 during Balance of BMSCs/Chondrocyte Bricks in Platelet-Rich Plasma Promotes Construction of a Stable 3-D Chondrogenesis Microenvironment for BMSCs
Figure 5
Higher expression of Sox9 in the MSC niche constructed by chondrocyte bricks and PRP guides stable chondrogenesis of BMSCs. Real-time RT-PCR of samples at the 14th week (a‑f) revealed the discrepant expression of Col-I, Col-II, Col-X, RUNX2, Nkx3.2, and Sox9 in different groups, which were all normalized to rabbit auricular cartilage. , .
