MATN3 overexpression inhibits IL-1β-induced ECM degradation and autophagy defects in chondrocytes. A, Analysis of MATN3 expression in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes in microarray GSE104793 (control sample n ​= ​3, IL-1β treated sample n ​= ​3). B, RT-qPCR for MATN3 expression in chondrocytes. C, CCK-8 for the viability of chondrocytes in each group. D-E, ELISA for IL-6 and TNF-α levels in the supernatant of chondrocytes. F, Western blot for expression of MMP-13, ADAMTS5, aggrecan, Collagen II, LC3II/LC3I, and Beclin1 in chondrocytes. ∗ indicates p ​< ​0.05 compared with the control group; # indicates p ​< ​0.05 compared with the IL-1β ​+ ​oe-NC group. Cell experiments were performed in triplicate.
