Curculigoside Protects against Titanium Particle-Induced Osteolysis through the Enhancement of Osteoblast Differentiation and Reduction of Osteoclast Formation
Figure 6
Curculigoside treatment alleviated osteoclast-associated gene expression in Ti-induced BMSCs. (a) qRT-PCR analysis was performed to detect the relative mRNA expression of cathepsin K, TRAP, NFATc1, and MMP-9 in BMSCs. (b) Western blot analysis was performed to detect the relative protein expression of IκBα, p-IκBα, p65, p-p65, IKKα, p-IKKα, NFATc1, and cathepsin K 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.
