a, Sod3, collagen type II
alpha 1 chain (Col2a1), aggrecan (Acan), proteoglycan 4 (Prg4), and SRY-box 9 (Sox9) mRNA levels in interleukin 1 beta (
IL1β, 10 ng ml-1)-induced rat osteoarthritis (OA) chondrocytes
cultured with BNTA (0.1 μM) or three siSOD3s for 6 h, respectively (n = 6 for
each group; Sod3, Prg4, one-way ANOVA; Col2a1, Acan, Sox9,
nonparametric test). c, Sod3, Col2a1, Acan, Prg4, and Sox9 mRNA levels in IL1β (10 ng ml-1)-induced rat OA
chondrocytes treated with vehicle or SOD3 plasmid for 2 d (n = 6 for each
group; Sod3, Acan, and Sox9, unpaired
two-tailed Student’s t-test; Col2a1 and Prg4, nonparametric test). Data are shown as the mean ± standard
deviation (s. d.). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
