ALT attenuated the degeneration of Collagen II induced by IL-1β in mouse chondrocytes. (A) Western blotting result of Collagen II. (B) Quantification analysis of western blotting results, GAPDH was regarded as an internal control (n = 3). (C) Safranin O staining for proteoglycans deposition in each group after a 7-days incubation (scale bar 100 μm). (D) Collagen II expression was determined by immunofluorescence staining (scale bar 100 μm). #p < 0.05 vs. control group; *p < 0.05 vs. IL-1β group; **p < 0.01 vs. IL-1β group.
