The MALT1 inhibitor MI-2 reduced osteoclast formation in the presence of TNFα. Inhibitory effects of MI-2 on osteoclast formation from monocytes in the presence of 20 ng/mL TNFα, as determined by performing in vitro osteoclast-differentiation assays. (a) Representative microscopic images from 3 independent experiments are shown. (b) Relative abundances (%) of TRAP-positive osteoclasts per well. Pooled results are shown from 3 independent experiments. (c) TRAP enzyme activities (%) in untreated cells and cells treated with the indicated concentrations of MI-2. *, **, and *** indicate significant differences from control (untreated) cells based on 2-tailed unpaired Student’s t-tests at P < 0.05, P < 0.01, and P < 0.001, respectively. The error bars denote s.e.m. values.
