A., B. Protein expression A. of PARP, active caspase-3 and Bcl-2; and their gene expression B. in chondrocytes, as estimated by Western blot and qPCR. Cultures were treated with 10 ng/ml IL-1β for 0, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h or co-treated with 50 μM baicalein and 10 ng/ml IL-1β for 0, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h after exposure to 10 ng/ml IL-1β alone for 24 h. Values are shown as the means ± SEM (n = 5). * P < 0.05;** P < 0.01;*** P < 0.001.
