Gene expression profile of RAW 264.7 cells following polymethylmethacrylate stimulation and naringin treatment.

Notes: RAW 264.7 cells were preincubated with or without naringin (10 μg/mL) for 3 hours prior to the addition of 1% polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) particles. After treatment for 6 hours, total RNA was isolated and gene expression was evaluated by real time polymerase chain reaction techniques. RAW 264.7 cells cultured in medium without naringin, vehicle, or particles were used as control. Data were collected in triplicate cultures of RAW 264.7 cells from three independent experiments. *Denotes P<0.05 when compared with the PMMA group; #denotes P<0.05 when compared with the vehicle + PMMA group.

Abbreviations: CPK, cathepsin K; PMMA, polymethylmethacrylate; RANK, receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B; TRAP, tartrate resistant acid phosphatase; mRNA, messenger RNA.
