Fig. 4From: Circ0007042 alleviates intervertebral disc degeneration by adsorbing miR-369 to upregulate BMP2 and activate the PI3K/AKt pathwaycirc_7042 regulates NP cell apoptosis and collagen metabolism through miR-369-3p/CDH2. A Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of cleaved caspase-3, total caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2. B–D Statistical quantification results of cleaved caspase-3, total caspase-3, Bax, and Bcl-2 band optical density values in Western blot results in A. E Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of collagen II, aggrecan, MMP-13, and MMP-3. F–I Statistical quantification results of optical density values of collagen II, aggrecan, MMP-13, and MMP-3 bands in the Western blotting results in A, respectively. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, the two groups were compared between the wiresBack to article page
