OB abrogates RANKL‐associated NFATc1and c-fos transcription and downregulates osteoclast-related genes. (A) The RT‐qPCR assay detected the relative mRNA expression of osteoclastogenesis-associated marker genes, including NFATc1, c-fos, TRAP, Rank, cathepsin K and MMP9. (B) Western-blot analysis for OB’s effects on protein levels of NFATc1 and c-fos. (C) Western-blot analysis for OB’s effects on protein levels of MMP9 and cathepsin K. (D) Quantitative analysis of NFATc1 and c-fos. (E) Quantitative analysis of MMP9 and cathepsin K. (F) Immunofluorescence images for OB’s effects on protein expression of NFATc1. ns, no statistical significance; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
