Celastrol inhibited IL-1β-induced inflammatory mediators in rat chondrocytes. (A) Rat chondrocytes viability for 24 h treated with celastrol at different concentrations examined by CCK-8 kit. (B) The mRNA levels of COX2 in rat chondrocytes were assayed by real-time PCR. (C) Representative Western blot results for COX2 in rat chondrocytes treated as indicated. (D) Quantification of Western blot data from (C). (E,F) Levels of PGE2 and IL-6 were assayed by ELISA. All data represent mean ± S.E.M.*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 and ****p < 0.0001. All experiments were repeated 3 times.
