RNA-sequencing of mechanical stress induced osteoarthritis-like damage in aged human cartilage explants treated with the anti-deiodinase iopanoic acid

The current study aimed to confirm chondroprotective effects of the D2 inhibitor iopanoic acid (IOP) in an ex vivo aged human osteochondral explant model in which injurious mechanical stress is applied to inflict OA-like damage. This dataset contains RNA-seq (Illumina HiSeq X ten) of osteochondral explant cartilage from aged human patients that underwent a joint replacement surgery due to OA (N=10 donors; n=21 explants).EGA study EGAS00001006242
