From: Mechanical stimulation of human tendon stem/progenitor cells results in upregulation of matrix proteins, integrins and MMPs, and activation of p38 and ERK1/2 kinases

Figure 4

Gene expression of matrix metalloproteinases upon mechanical stimulation of TSPC. (A) RT-PCR analysis for MMP1 and MMP2. (B) Quantitative PCR analysis for MMP3, MMP9, MMP13 and MMP14 (ratio to HPRT housekeeping gene). Data is representative of 3 donors, each used in 3 independent experiments; *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
