ECH inhibits TBHP-induced ER stress in chondrocyte cells. (a) The mRNA expression of GRP78, ATF4, and CHOP was measured by real-time PCR. (b, c) The protein expressions of p-PERK, GRP78, p-eIF2α, and CHOP in mouse chondrocytes treated as above were visualized by western blot. (d, e) The representative CHOP was detected by immunofluorescence combined with DAPI staining for nuclei (bar: 20 μm). All values represent (). , . DAPI: 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; TBHP: tert-Butyl hydroperoxide; ECH: Echinacoside.
