Effect of LiCl treatment and LEF-1 silencing on matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)s, ADAMTSs, and collagen X expression. (a) Detection of MMPs, ADAMTSs, and collagen X expression levels with real-time PCR after LEF-1 siRNA transfection in LiCl-treated normal and osteoarthritic chondrocytes. (Error bars, SEM; *P < 0.05 LiCl-treated cells versus control; **P < 0.05 LiCl and LEF-1 siRNA-treated cells versus LiCl-treated cells). (d) Occupancy of MMPs, ADAMTSs, and COL10A1 promoters in LiCl-treated and -untreated chondrocytes by LEF-1 with ChIP analysis. Input chromatin used as positive control, and IgG, as negative control.
