Gene expression levels of various markers specific to chondrocyte (a), osteocyte (b), and adipocyte (c) in hMSC cultured with 15% activated (ACT) and 15% nonactivated PRC (NA). SOX-9 expression was significantly increased at earlier time points in the nonactivated PRC group (). Gene expression was measured at each time point using the QuantiGenePlex 2.0 assay kit.
