Figure 2From: The expression of p-ATF2 involved in the chondeocytes apoptosis of an endemic osteoarthritis, Kashin-Beck disease qPCR of ATF2, JNK and p38 in cartilage compared with chondrocytes both from KBD. The expression levels of p38, JNK and ATF2 mRNAs were about 1.3-fold, 3.2-fold and 2.7-fold higher in cartilage than in chondrocytes samples. * p < 0.05Back to article page
