Figure 5

Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of chondrocytes after exposure to parabolic flight. Chondrocytes were taken on a parabolic flight and fixated at two different timepoints. Subsequently, qPCR analyses were performed on these samples and the corresponding 1 g controls. 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: CCNA2; B: CD44; C: IL6; D: IL8; E: VCAM1; F: EDN1; G: TNFA; H: FGF9. 1P: fixation after first parabola; 31P: fixation after 31st parabola.
