Figure 4 Dioscin suppressed IL-1β-activated catabolic activity in human NP cells. (A–D) Relative mRNA level of (A, B) ADAMTS4 and ADAMTS5, and (C, D) MMP3, MMP13 were measured by PCR. 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.
