The mechanism of MGF in inflammatory reactions and cell apoptosis

(A) MGF can downregulate the expressions of inflammatory factors, such as IL-1β, TNF-α, and MMP3, in chondrocytes and synoviocytes. (B) Excessive mechanical stress and OA induce cell apoptosis, which can be inhibited by exogenous MGF by regulating the expressions of Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3, caspase-8 and CHOP.
