Figure 1 Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) and CCR2 are increased in interleukin 17A-induced chondrocyte hypertrophy. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to assess mRNA expression of (A) Type 2 collagen, Type 10 collagen, RUNX2, and IHH and (B) CCL2 and CCR2. Data are shown as means±standard deviations vs the control group. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001.
