From: A common variant rs2054564 in ADAMTS17 is associated with susceptibility to lumbar spondylosis
Expression levels of ADAMTS17 and FBN1 in the annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus in the mouse intervertebral disc. qRT-PCR revealed the expression of Adamts17 and Fbn1 in the annulus fibrosus (AF) of mouse intervertebral disc. High expression of Col1a1 in AF, and high expression of ACAN, Skt, and CD24 in nucleus pulposus (NP) confirmed the proper separated harvest of AF and NP tissues. Eight lumbar IVDs from two mice were collected to obtain enough tissues. All reactions were performed in triplicate.
