Fig. 4From: Role of Galectin-3 in intervertebral disc degeneration: an experimental studyLevels of Aggrecan, Col II, Galectin-3, and CCL3 in the cartilage endplate tissue of the intervertebral disc in different groups. The mRNA and protein levels of Aggrecan, Col II, Galectin-3, and CCL3 in the cartilage endplate tissue of the intervertebral disc were analyzed with real-time RT-PCR (A) and Western blot (B), respectively.
