From: Up-regulation of long non-coding RNA CYTOR induced by icariin promotes the viability and inhibits the apoptosis of chondrocytes

Fig. 5

CYTOR knockdown counteracted the protective effects of ICAR on chondrocytes. a b The chondrocytes transfected with CYTOR shRNA were treated with ICAR, and the cell viability was detected by CCK-8. c The chondrocytes transfected with CYTOR shRNA were treated with ICAR, and the apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry analysis. d-f The chondrocytes transfected with CYTOR shRNA were treated with ICAR, and the levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α were detected by ELISA. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs. IL-1β + ICAR group
