Figure Lengend Snippet: TAK1 inhibits the proliferation and differentiation of TD chondrocytes. (A, B) Expression of TAK1 in cartilage tissues and chondrocytes of normal group and TD Groups ( n = 6). (C, D) Detection of TAK1 overexpression efficiency and interference efficiency. (E, F) CCK-8 analysis after treatment with TAK1 mimics or inhibitor during TD chondrocytes proliferation ( n = 6). (G, H) EdU staining was conducted on chondrocytes after 24 h transfection with TAK1 overexpression and interference vectors. The scale bar represents 200 μm ( n = 6). (I, J) The impact of TAK1 overexpression and interference on the expression of proliferation-related genes ( n = 6). (K, L) The cell cycle of TAK1 transfected chondrocyte was assayed by flow cytometry. We determined the proportion of cells in the G0/G1, S, and G2/M phases, respectively ( n = 3). (M, N) The impact of TAK1 overexpression and interference on the expression of early- and late- stage chondrocyte differentiation factors ( n = 6). (O, P) The relative protein expression levels of differentiation factors Col I, Col II and Col X in chondrocytes following TAK1 overexpression or interference ( n = 3). Data were indicated as mean±SEM. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, ns P ≥ 0.05.
Article Snippet: Finally, cell cycle distribution was analyzed using a Cytoflex flow cytometry (Beckman, USA), with each treatment group containing three biological replicates.
