Rat chondrocytes were shaped like spindles with a protuberance, in which proteoglycans were stained purple by toluidine blue. Effects of DHJS on cell viability of chondrocytes (b). Effects of DHJS on cell viability of IL-1β-induced chondrocytes (c). Effects of DHJS on IL-1β-induced expression of TNFα (d), IL-6 (e), MMP-1 (f), MMP-3 (g), MMP-9 (h), and ADAMTs-5 (i) in rat chondrocytes.
