The effect of IL-1β on osteoclast-associated genes. (a) RANKL, (b) OPG and (c) RANKL/OPG ratio of HCEM. (d) RANKL, (e) OPG and (f) RANKL/OPG ratio of pHCB by semiquantitive RT-PCR (one-way ANOVA, Dunnett’s T3 post hoc test, *P<0.05; **P<0.01, n=4). ANOVA, analysis of variance; HCEM, human cementoblast cell line; IL, interleukin; OPG, osteoprotegerin; pHCB, primary human cementoblasts; RANKL, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand; RT-PCR, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.
