XH attenuated ECM degradation in IL-1β-treated chondrocytes. (A) The immunofluorescence study of MMP-13 in IL-1β-treated chondrocytes. (B) The summary data of fluorescence intensity of MMP-13. (C) The proteins expression of MMP-3, MMP-13, ADAMTS-4, ADAMTS-5, collagen-II, and aggrecan were detected by western blotting. (D–I) were the quantified values of tested proteins. All experiments were performed in triplicate and data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01. NC, negative control; Low, XH (5 μM); High, XH (20 μM).
