SMSC-212-5p-Exos attenuated IL-1β induced MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13 expression in chondrocytes. IL-1β induced chondrocytes were treated with SMSC-Exos or SMSC-212-5p-Exos for 48 h. MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13 production in cellular supernatant were measured by ELISA (A–C). mRNA expression of MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13 from cell lysis were tested by qRT-PCR (D–F). n = 6 for each group in ELISA analysis, n = 3 for each group in qRT-PCR test. ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 compared to NC. @p < 0.05, @@p < 0.01, @@@p < 0.001 compared to IL-1β. &p < 0.05, &&p < 0.01 compared to IL-1β+Exo. One-way ANOVA followed Dunn’s multiple comparisons test.
