NBP inhibited apoptosis of human OA chondrocytes by upregulating FoxO3a. (a) Cluster analysis of mRNA levels of downstream genes in the FoxO pathway. (b, c) The mRNA levels Bcl-2 and Bax were determined. (d) The protein expressions of Bcl-2, Bax, and Caspase 3 were determined. All data are expressed as the (SD). .
