Phillyrin Prevents Ovariectomy-Induced Osteolysis by Inhibiting Osteoclast Differentiation

Figure 4

Phillyrin (Phil) attenuated osteoclast differentiation in vitro. (a) Representative tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining images from bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) treated with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or different doses of Phil in the presence of receptor activator for nuclear factor-κ B ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) for 4 days. Scale bar = 200 μm. (b, c) The area of TRAP-positive multinuclear osteoclasts were measured and the number was quantified (≥3 nuclei) in each well of the 96-well plate. All values represent the mean ± SD. and .
