From: Vaspin promotes chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs via Akt activation in osteoarthritis
Vaspin contributed to chondrocyte survival by inducing Akt production. a Akt expression levels were measured by real-time PCR. Vaspin (150 ng/ml) treatment promoted Akt mRNA expression in chondrocyte. b The proliferation of chondrocyte after co-treatment with different gradient concentrations of Vaspin (0 ng/ml and 150 ng/ml) and Akt specific inhibitors API-2 (8 μmol/L) were analyzed by CCK-8 assays at 24 h. The results are represented the mean ± SD
