Effects of SP-D on inflammation and ECM by suppressing TLR4-mediated PI3k/Akt and NF-κB signalings in chondrocytes. (A–C) The protein expression of Collagen II, MMP-13, NLRP3, p-PI3K, PI3K, p-Akt, Akt, MD-2, TLR4, p-p65, and p65 were assessed via western blotting with GAPDH as a loading control. (D–K) The ratios of Collagen II, MMP-13, NLRP3, MD-2, and TLR4 to GAPDH, and p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, p-p65/p65 were analyzed. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3). ***P < 0.001 vs. the control group; ##P < 0.01 and ###P < 0.001 vs. the LPS group; &P < 0.05, &&P < 0.01 and &&&P < 0.001 vs. the LPS + rhSP-D group. OP-SP-D, SP-D overexpressing plasmid; OP-NC, Negative control plasmid.
