Figure 2 Effects of dioscin on IL-1β-activated cell viability in human NP cells. (A) The cytotoxic effects of dioscin on human NP cells were examined at different concentrations by the CCK-8 method. (B) CCK-8 analysis of dioscin-treated human NP cells stimulated by IL-1β. The results are presented as the means ±SD. * P<0.05 relative to the control group; # P<0.05 relative to the IL-1β group, n=5.
