Table 2 mRNA expression levels of MMPs and TIMPs in SW1353 cells and primary chondrocytes

From: Caesalpinia sappan extract inhibits IL1β-mediated overexpression of matrix metalloproteinases in human chondrocytes

  1. mRNA levels were quantified using RT-qPCR and expressed as number of molecules per molecules of GAPDH. Articular chondrocytes were isolated from cartilage specimens of 3 donors (PC1, PC2, PC3) and cultured and analyzed separately. Mean values and standard deviations (SD) of the 3 primary cell populations are also presented
