Figure Lengend Snippet: MSM-DTM adsorbs inflammatory cytokines, suppresses TSPCs inflammation and senescence, and promotes tenogenic differentiation and migration (A) The remaining concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-γ, LPS, and NGF were detected by ELISA after co-culture with different concentrations of MSM. (B and C) RT-qPCR of IL-6 and CCL-2 in TSPCs under different treatments. (D) Western blot of COL1A2, MMP3, and TNMD. (E) ELISA of TNF-α, IL-6, and IFN-γ in supernatants. (F)Western blot of p16 and p21 after 7 days of treatment. (G) β-Galactosidase staining analysis after 7 days of treatment. Scale bars, 100 μm. (H and I) Immunofluorescence and quantification of TNMD and TNC after 14-day treatment. Scale bars, 50 μm. (J) Relative mRNA expression of tenogenic differentiation markers SCX and TNC. (K and L) Representative images and quantification of Transwell assay. Scale bars, 100 μm. (M and N) Representative images and quantification of wound healing assay. Scale bars, 100 μm. Statistical comparisons were performed with one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Data are presented as the mean ± SD, n = 3. Ns, no significance, ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001 between groups.
Article Snippet: The remaining cytokines in the supernatant were quantified using ELISA kits for TNF-α (ABclonal, China), IL-1β (ABclonal, China), IL-6 (ABclonal, China), IFN-γ (ABclonal, China), and NGF (ABclonal, China), and LPS (ABclonal, China), following the manufacturers’ protocols.
