Effect of EGCG on DEX-induced osteoblast cellular dysfunction. (A) EGCG improved cell viability, increased ALP activity, and recovered SOD expression in primary osteoblasts treated with DEX. (B) EGCG reversed cellular and mitochondrial oxidative stress according to cytometry of DCFH-DA and mitoSOX staining. (C) Expression of Nrf2 and downstream transcriptional factor HO-1 during EGCG protection under high-dose DEX treatment. Protein levels were statistically evaluated in columns. Measurements were in triplicate and data are presented as the mean ±SD. ##P < 0.01, #P < 0.05 vs. control; ∗∗P < 0.01, P < 0.05 vs. DEX; and ΦP < 0.05 DEX+EGCG vs. control.
