Figure Lengend Snippet: Mechanism analysis of periodontitis therapy with CCS‐RSF@PRP hydrogels. a) Venn diagram of the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). b) Volcano plots showing upregulated and downregulated DEGs. c) Gene ontology analysis of top 20 enriched terms between periodontitis group and CCS‐RSF@PRP hydrogels group. BP, biological processes; CC, cellular components; MF, molecular functions. d) KEGG pathway analysis demonstrating the top 13 signal pathways enriched by DEGs. e, f) Protein expression level of p‐MEK1, p‐Erk1/2, p‐IκBα, p‐NF‐κB and TNF‐α in periodontium of periodontitis and CCS‐RSF@PRP treatment group determined by western blot (n = 3). g, h) Protein expression level of p‐MEK1, p‐Erk1/2, p‐IκBα, p‐NF‐κB and TNF‐α of BMDMs in the control, TNF‐α, TNF‐α+infliximab+CCS‐RSF@PRP and TNF‐α+CCS‐RSF@PRP groups determined by western blot (n = 3). i) The mechanism of CCS‐RSF@PRP hydrogel remitting inflammation of periodontitis through TNF signaling pathway.
Article Snippet: The cell viability was quantified using CCK‐8 assay kit and TNF‐α cytokine concentration in the supernatant was tested by ELISA (CUSABIO, CSB‐E09315h) as above.
