Figure Lengend Snippet: Hypo-BMSCs-Exos attenuate IL-1β-Induced Chondrocyte Inflammation. A: Immunofluorescence staining reveals changes in iNOS, and COX2 in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes following intervention with Norm-BMSCs-Exos and Hypo-BMSCs-Exos. B: Quantitative analysis of immunofluorescence staining. C: Western blot detection of protein expression levels of iNOS, and COX2 in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes treated with Norm-BMSCs-Exos and Hypo-BMSCs-Exos. D: Statistical analysis of relative protein band intensity values. Data are presented as Mean ± SD. Intergroup differences with statistical significance: ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, ∗∗∗P < 0.001, n = 3 per group.

Article Snippet: The sections were blocked with 10 % fetal bovine serum (FBS) for 1 h at room temperature, then incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies against iNOS (Servicebio, China), COX2 (ProteinTech Group, China), Collagen II (Bioss, China), aggrecan (Bioss, China), MMP-13 (ProteinTech Group, China), and ADAMTS-5 (Zenbio, China).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Intra-articular injection of Hypo-BMSCs-Exo protects articular cartilage from degeneration in KOA rats. A: Representative images of immunohistochemical staining for iNOS, COX2, Collagen II, Aggrecan, ADAMTS-5, and MMP-13 in cartilage tissue at 8 weeks post-intervention. Scale bar = 50 μm. B: Quantitative analysis and statistical evaluation of immunopositive cells. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD), with n = 3 per group. Intergroup statistical significance is indicated as: ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, ∗∗∗P < 0.001 compared to control rats; # p < 0.05、 ## p < 0.01、 ### p < 0.001 indicate differences compared with OA rats; & p < 0.05、 && p < 0.01、 &&& p < 0.001 indicate differences compared with Norm-BMSCs-Exos rats.
