CypB-CD147 Signaling Is Involved in Crosstalk between Cartilage and FLS in Collagen-Induced Arthritis

Figure 1

Gene expressions of MMPs, CypB, CD147, and inflammation-related genes in normal and CIA cartilage. Normal cartilage explants were treated with vehicle and 10 ng/mL IL-1α, and CIA cartilages were treated with vehicle, 10 ng/mL IL-1α, and 10 ng/mL IL-1α plus 10 μM dexamethasone, respectively, before collected for total mRNA extraction. All data were presented as a value relative to those in the first group. Values are represented as the . , △△, △△△, and △△△△ as compared with the indicated group.
