Gene expression profiles of cytokines in aseptic interface membrane and OA synovial tissues. Relative expression levels of genes of interest determined through qRT-PCR and normalized by two reference genes, β-actin and B2 M: a IL-1β. b TNF-α. c IL-6. d iNOS. e IL-12a. f IL-10. g TGF-β1 h RANKL. Data of 10/15 OA patients and 11/20 AL patients are shown. Significant difference of TGF-β1 expression between AL and OA groups (*p < 0.05). Mann–Whitney test was utilized to compare and analyze the obtainded data
