Fig. 6From: Priming stem cells with protein kinase C activator enhances early stem cell-chondrocyte interaction by increasing adhesion moleculesEffect of PMA on the expressions of adhesion molecules in ADCS. ADSCs were treated with PMA (100 nM) up to 12 h. a For RT-PCR, samples were collected at 4 h. The mRNA expression of adhesion molecules were normalized to GAPDH. b For western blot analysis, samples were collected at 12 h. The expression of phosphorylated FAK (pFAK) was normalized to FAK and expressions of other molecules were normalized to β-actin. The quantitative data were expressed as the mean ± S.E.M of at least 3 independent experiments. *p < 0.05 compared to untreated controlBack to article page
