Fig. 5From: Senescent synovial fibroblasts accumulate prematurely in rheumatoid arthritis tissues and display an enhanced inflammatory phenotypeResponse to an acute inflammatory damage of TNFα-induced senescent SF. 14-day senescent (SEN) and control (CT) SF were treated with TNFα. Untreated CT was used as reference. a Change in IL6, CXCL8, MMP3 and CCL2 mRNA expression (n = 9). b Change in IL-6 and IL-8 protein levels (n = 6). (*Wilcoxon test)Back to article page
