Figure 7

Effect of MW on the expression of calpain, Bax, Bcl-2, cytochrome c, caspase-3, collagen II, and aggrecan in chondrocytes. (a) The protein expression levels of calpain, Bax, Bcl-2, cytochrome c, caspase-3, collagen II, and aggrecan were analyzed by Western blotting. β-actin was used as the internal control. (b) Semiquantification of protein blots shown in (a). Data are averages with SD (error bars) from three independent experiments. ; , compared with the untreated control. , , compared with the 10 ng/mL TNF-α group.
