Effects of miR-132 inhibitor on Bax and caspase-3/9 protein expression and inflammation divisors in chondrocytes. a Representative western blot bands of Bax, cleaved Caspase-9, cleaved Caspase-3, and GAPDH. b Quantitative densitometry of the expression of Bax protein after transfection of inhibitor NC and miR-132-inhibitor. c Quantitative densitometry of the expression of Caspase-9 protein. d Quantitative densitometry of the expression of Caspase-3 protein. e IL-1β levels in cells transfected with inhibitor NC and miR-132-inhibitor. f IL-6 levels in cells transfected with inhibitor NC and miR-132-inhibitor. g IL-18 levels in cells transfected with inhibitor NC and miR-132-inhibitor. Pg/mg means contents of IL-1β/IL-6/ IL-18 per mg of proteins. **P < 0.01
