Knockdown of TUG1 inhibits chondrocyte viability and promotes chondrocyte apoptosis and inflammation. A qRT-PCR assay of TUG1 expression after interference using siRNA. B CCK-8 assay of Si-TUG1 for cellular value-added viability. C Immunofluorescence detection of collagen II and MMP13 protein expression of Si-TUG1. D Western blotting to detect the protein expression of collagen II, MMP13, Bax, Bcl2, and cleaved-caspase3 in Si-TUG1. E Flow cytometry detection of apoptosis in Si-TUG1. All data are shown as SEM ± mean based on 3 independent experiments. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; P < 0.001
