Expression of inflammatory markers in tenocytes cultured on connective tissue matrices with and without stimulation. The relative expression of inflammatory markers in tenocytes cultured on A-CTM, I-CTM, or TCP in stimulated (+TNFα) and unstimulated (Control) conditions for 24 h is shown. The relative expression (fold) of CXCL8 (A), TNF (B), TGFβ1 (C), TGFβ3 (D), and MMP1 (E) was compared to the mRNA level in tenocytes on Day 0 (starting cells). Data shown are mean ± SD (n = 4 for cells on CTMs, n = 3 for cells on TCP). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.005
