Figure Lengend Snippet: ZBP1 overexpression depends on IRF1. Chondrocytes were transfected with siNC or IRF1 siRNA for 24 h following TNF-α induction for 12 h. (A) Prediction of transcription factors using the UCSC Genome Browser database, SPP-ominer database, and Cistrome Data Browser. (B) qPCR results showing the relative mRNA expression levels of Irf1 and Zbp1 ( n = 3). (C, D) Western blots and quantitative analysis of the relative protein expression level of IRF1 ( n = 3). (E, F) Immunofluorescence staining and fluorescence intensity analysis of ZBP1 expression in chondrocytes transfected with siNC or IRF1 siRNA following TNF-α induction for 12 h ( n = 3; scale bar: 50 μm). (G-L) Western blots and quantitative analysis of the relative protein expression levels of iNOS, COX2, MMP3, MMP13, AGGRECAN, COL2A1, and SOX9 ( n = 3). (M-P) Immunofluorescence staining and fluorescence intensity analysis of COL2A1 and MMP13 expression in chondrocytes transfected with siNC or IRF1 siRNA following TNF-α induction for 12 h ( n = 3; scale bar: 50 μm). Chondrocytes were transfected with negative control siRNA(siNC) or IRF1 siRNA (si- Irf1 ) or ZBP1-plasmid (OE- Zbp1 ) or empty plasmid (OE-NC) for 24 h following TNF-α induction for 24 h. (Q-V) Western blots and quantitative analysis of the relative protein expression of AGGRECAN, COL2A1, SOX9, iNOS, COX2 MMP13, and MMP3 in chondrocytes ( n = 3). The data are shown as the means ± SDs. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001
