S100A9 Increases IL-6 and RANKL Expressions through MAPKs and STAT3 Signaling Pathways in Osteocyte-Like Cells

Figure 1

Effect of S100A8, S100A9, and Pg LPS on cell viability of osteocytes. When MLO-Y4-A2 cells reached subconfluence, cells were treated with S100A8 (10–50 nM), S100A9 (10–50 nM), and Pg LPS (500 ng/ml) for 48 hours, and cell viability was analyzed using CCK-8. Data are means ± SD and expressed as a percent of control (n = 5). N.S indicates no significant difference between the indicated groups and control group.
