Release of PGE2 into the supernatant of cultured rat chondrocytes

Incubation time

PGE2 (μg/ml)

Proliferation status


0

120 ± 20

2 days

530 ± 270a

Rapidly proliferating

6 days

150 ± 30

Slowly proliferating


Chondrocytes were seeded in culture plates and fresh medium was added. At different time points supernatant was collected and analyzed for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) content (n = 6; ap < 0.01 versus day 0).
