Figure Lengend Snippet: IL-10 alters the mRNA and protein expression levels tendon-associated molecules in TDSCs. (A) The mRNA expression Tnmd, Col3, Mkx, Egr1, Fmod and Lum was altered by IL-10 treatment. (B) Fluorescent staining of Col1 expression following treatment with IL-10 for 3 days. (C) Rat TDSCs were treated with the indicated concentrations of IL-10 for 3 days and subjected to western blot analysis for Scx, Col1, Tnmd and Col3 protein expression. (D) Densitometric analysis of the western blotting results. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. control cells. IL-10, interleukin-10; TDSCs, tendon-derived stem cells; Tnmd, tenomodulin; Col3, collagen type 3; Mkx, mohawk; Egr1, early growth response gene 1; Fmod, fibromodulin; Lum, lumican; Dcn, decorin; Bgn, biglycan.
Article Snippet: Cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with primary rabbit anti-Col1 antibodies (1:100; cat. no. 14695-1-AP; ProteinTech Group, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) and subsequently incubated with tetramethylrhodamine-tagged goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibodies (1:100; cat. no. HA1016; Hangzhou HuaAn Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Hangzhou, China) for 2 h at room temperature.
