IL-1β promoted protein expressions of LOX in normal and injured ACL/MCL fibroblasts. a Western blot showed LOX expressions in normal and injured ACL/MCL fibroblasts after being treated with 5 ng/ml IL-1β. The blot gels shown are representative of four different experiments (n = 4). The culture media samples were collected at 72 h following treatments for LOX expressions and the cell lysates samples for β-actin. b Quantitative analysis of the Western blot with Bio-Rad image software (Quantity One 4.6.3 software). The data were the mean of four different experiments (n = 4); SD. *Significant difference with respect to control (p < 0.05)
