The effect of si-SPTBN1 and OE-SPTBN1 in the Smad3/TGF-β and STAT1/Cxcl-9 pathways in vitro. (A) MC3T3-E1 cells were transfected with si-SPTBN1 or OE-SPTBN1 for 1, 3, 5, 7, and 14 days, then the protein expression of SPTBN1, Runx2, TGF-β and p-Smad3 was evaluated by Western blot. (B) MC3T3-E1 cells were transfected with si-SPTBN1 or OE-SPTBN1 for 1, 3, 5, 7, and 14 days, then the protein expression of SPTBN1 and p-STAT1 was evaluated by Western blot. β-actin was considered as the internal reference. (C) The expression of Cxcl-9 was evaluated by ELISA assay. N = 3, P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01 vs. control group.
