IL-1β triggered the early activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and OB inhibited the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signals in IL-1β–induced chondrocytes. (A) Western blot and (B) quantitative analysis for proteins associated with the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in chondrocytes stimulated with 5 ng/ml IL-1β at different time durations (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2h). (C) Western blot analysis and (D) quantitative data the above proteins in chondrocytes which were administered with IL-1β (5 ng/ml) for 1 h or/and OB (160 μM) for 24 h. Data were presented as means ± SD (n = 3). ns, no significance; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
