PRP lysate induces a maturation-like gene expression profile in immature articular cartilage. The relative fold change in gene expression of COL2A1, MMP1, NTN1, DIO2, CHM1 and COLX following growth factor or 10% PRP treatment are shown. Samples were tested after 14 days in culture (nā=ā4 for each group). Absolute quantitation (in ng) normalised to a 18S rRNA housekeeping gene was used to measure expression levels with the values converted to show relative-fold change in expression compared to untreated samples.
