Genistein treatment upregulates the protein expression levels of collagen II, aggrecan and ERα, and downregulates caspase 3 expression. (A) Western blotting of samples from the experimental groups using the indicated antibodies. Semi-quantitative analyses of the (B) collagen II/GAPDH, (C) aggrecan/GAPDH, (D) caspase 3/GAPDH and (E) ERα/GAPDH ratios. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n=10). *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. the normal group; #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 vs. the OA group. ERα, estrogen receptor; OA, osteoarthritis.
