Figure 1

Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of chondrocytes exposed to the Vibraplex device. The Vibraplex device provides vibration profiles corresponding to those occurring during parabolic flight and allows the isolated analysis of their effects on cultivated cells. In all diagrams, the x-axis represents the experiment conditions and the y-axis the relative gene expression in % of control. Results are given as mean value ± SD. Significant changes (p < 0.05) are indicated by brackets above the bars. The analyzed genes were A: CTGF; B: IL6; C: CAV2; D: IL8; E: EGF; F: PRKAA; G: VEGFA; H: PRKCA; I: VIL2; J: VEGFD; K: FGF17; L: IL15.
