Figure 5

(A) Representative image for positive SA-βgal labelling. (B) CPCs lines were analysed for senescence indices. A 38.3-fold increase in SA-βgal positive cells was observed in early senescent OA CPCs compared to late senescent OA CPCs (p = 0.029) and a 6.1-fold increase compared with normal CPCs (p = 0.032). Statistical significance (*) was shown using Anova with Tukey’s HSD pair-wise comparisons. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean.
