Figure 7. Effect of CM on p53. (A) Immunoblotting was performed for acetylated and total p53. (B) p53 mRNA expression was determined by quantitative real-time PCR. OA chondrocytes were incubated with IL-1β and/or CM for 24 hours. Data are shown as mean±standard deviation of N=4 separate experiments with cells from separate donors. ++p<0.01 with respect to non-treated cells; *p<0.05 with respect to IL-1β-treated cells.
