CUR treatment alleviates TBHP-induced degradation of the ECM in the human NP cells. (a–f) The mRNA expression levels of type II collagen, aggrecan, MMP-3, MMP-13, ADAMTS-4, and ADAMTS-5 in the human NP cells were measured by qRT-PCR. (g–m) The protein levels of type II collagen, aggrecan, MMP-3, MMP-13, ADAMTS-4, and ADAMTS-5 in the human NP cells were measured by western blotting. (n–q) Immunofluorescence staining of type II collagen and MMP-13 in the human NP cells. Scale bar: 20 μm. GAPDH was used as an internal control. Data are represented as the mean ± SD. ∗∗P < 0.01, ∗P < 0.05, n = 3.
