Gene expression and protein release of ScAT and IFP and cytokine concentration in synovial fluid. mRNA was quantified by real time RT PCR (RT qPCR). Values of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 were normalized to the housekeeping gene (β-actin) and presented as the fold increase compared to control ScAT on the left y-axis. Protein concentration of IL-1β and IL-6 secreted by ScAT and IFP as well as in synovial fluid were measured by ELISA and presented as pg/ mL on the right y-axis. * denotes statistically significant differences with p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001. White boxes demonstrate control group and grey boxes samples from dogs with CCLD
