Figure 5 Dioscin attenuated ECM degradation in IL-1β-stimulated human NP cells. (A, B) Relative mRNA level of (A) collagen II and (B) aggrecan were examined by PCR. (C) Fluorescence immunostaining of collagen II protein (green) and nucleus (blue). 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.
