Effects of T-5224 on human NP cells treated with IL-1β. (a) Quantification of c-Fos mRNA in human nucleus pulposus (NP) cells 24 h after stimulation with or without IL-1β. (b) Western blot analysis of c-Fos expression. (c) Immunofluorescence staining for human NP cells 2 h after the stimulation with or without IL-1β. Scale bars = 50 μm. (d) Expression of genes encoding proteins involved in catabolism, and inflammation in human NP cells (n = 3) 24 h after stimulation with recombinant IL-1β with or without T-5224. Error bars denote the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 (Tukey–Kramer post-hoc test). (e) Immunofluorescence staining for IL-1β-induced human NP cells 24 h after treatment with T-5224 (60 μM). Scale bars = 50 μm.
