Effect of differing ECH concentrations on chondrocyte viability. (a) Chemical structure of ECH. (b) The cytotoxic effect of cyanidin on mouse OA chondrocytes was determined at various concentrations for 24 hours using a CCK8 assay. (c) The cytotoxic effects of ECH on mouse chondrocytes were examined and cell viability was assessed after 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours with a CCK8 kit. (d) The viability of TBHP-treated (20 μM) chondrocytes after ECH treatment at various concentrations. Significant differences among different groups are indicated as , vs. the control group; # and ## vs. the TBHP-alone treatment group. All values represent (). DAPI: 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; TBHP: tert-Butyl hydroperoxide; ECH: Echinacoside.
