Inflamm-Aging-Related Cytokines of IL-17 and IFN-γ Accelerate Osteoclastogenesis and Periodontal Destruction

Figure 2

Effects of IL-17 (1 ng/ml) or/and IFN-γ (0.2 ng/ml) on the expression of osteoclastogenic genes in vitro. The mRNA expression of osteoclast-related genes (a) c-Fos, (b) NFATc1, (c) Ctsk, (d) MMP-9, and (e) TRAP was detected with different concentrations of IL-17 or/and IFN-γ using RT-qPCR. Data were standardized to GAPDH expression and shown as a fold change relative to the control group (, ). # compared with the control group; & compared with the IL-17+IFN-γ group.
