Figure 4

Chondrocyte cell death and focal cell loss. (A) Chondrocyte cell death was significantly increased in injured cartilage regardless of the presence of synoviocytes and (B) independently of treatment was significantly increased at day 32 compared to the earlier time points. (C) Focal cell loss was significantly affected by both treatment and days in culture with injured cartilage not in the presence of synoviocytes have the greatest severity at 16 and 32 days compared to the other treatments. Bars represent mean (± SEM), bars with the same letter for each pathology are not significantly different from each other, significance set at alpha (p-value) = 0.05. Main effects or interactions were evaluated in the AOV table with a predictive F-value (Pr > F), n = 6.
