Effect of OA related genes at mRNA and protein levels. a levels of SDF-1 in the synovium of pigs measured by ELISA. b, c, and d mRNA levels of MMP-3, ColII, and ACAN. e, f, and g protein levels of MMP-3, ColII, and ACAN. (h)protein electrophoretogram of MMP-3, ColII, ACAN, and GAPDH. *p < 0.5; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001; ns indicated that there was no statistical difference compared with the corresponding group. SDF-1, stromal cell derived factor-1; MMP-3, matrix metalloproteinase 3; Col 2, collagen type two; ACAN, aggrecan; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase
