Semaphorin 3A Inhibits Inflammation in Chondrocytes under Excessive Mechanical Stress

<div>Effect of Sema3A on protein expression of IL-1<i>β</i> and MMP-13 under excessive mechanical stress. ATDC5 cells treated with various concentrations of Sema3A were subjected to excessive CTS for 24 h. Protein expression of IL-1<i>β</i> and MMP-13 was determined by Western blot analysis. <i>β</i>-actin was used as a loading control.</div>
