Morroniside promotes cell survival and matrix formation in human OA chondrocytes. Cells were treated with different dose of morroniside (0.1, 20 and 100 μM) for 24 hrs. (A) The chemistry structure of morroniside. (B) The cell viability was measures by the MTT assay. (C) PCNA expression was detected by western blotting analysis. (D and E) COL2 and AGG levels were detected by Western blotting analysis. The values represent the mean ± SEM of three to five independent experiments, each yielding similar results (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01).
