Figure Lengend Snippet: Validation of mechanism of Cuprorivaite (CaCuSi 4 O 10 ) microspheres in OA. (A) Hematoxylin and eosin staining. (B) Safranin-O staining/fast green staining. (C) OARSI score. (D) ELISA detection for TNF-α, IL-6 and MMP13 in the serum. (E) Western blot detection for TNF-α, IL-6 and MMP13 in cartilage tissue. (F) RT-qPCR quantification for extracellular matrix components including collagen II and SOX9 in cartilage tissue. (G) Copper content in cartilage tissue. (H) RT-qPCR quantification for cuproptosis biomarkers including ATP7B and FDX1 in cartilage tissue. (I) Western blot detection for ATP7B and FDX1 in cartilage tissue. (J) Representative images of FDX1 expression in cartilage tissue detected by immunohistochemistry. (K) Oxidative stress detection including MDA, SOD and GSH in cartilage tissue. (L) RT-qPCR quantification for Wnt1, GSK3β and β-catenin in cartilage tissue. ∗∗∗ P < 0.001.
Article Snippet: Then, levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and MMP13 in cell supernatant and serum samples were detected by the multi-functional microplate detector, with mouse TNF-α (CSB-E04741m, CUSABIO, Wuhan, China), mouse IL-6 (CSB-E04639m, CUSABIO, Wuhan, China) and mouse MMP13 (CSB-E07413m, CUSABIO, Wuhan, China) kit.
