Curculigoside Protects against Titanium Particle-Induced Osteolysis through the Enhancement of Osteoblast Differentiation and Reduction of Osteoclast Formation

Figure 5

Curculigoside treatment inhibited Ti-induced activation of osteoclast activity in BMSCs. (a) After being intervened with Ti and treated with curculigoside at different concentrations (25, 50, and 100 μg/ml) for 48 h, BMSC viability was detected by the CCK-8 assay (). (b) The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in BMSCs were detected using ELISA kits. (c) Cellular immunofluorescence of F-actin in BMSCs (); results are represented as the . , compared to the Con group; ▲▲, compared to the Con group; , compared to the Ti group; , compared to the Ti group. BMSCs: bone marrow stromal cells; Ti: titanium particles; Con: control.
