From: Cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) gene promoter methylation induces chondrocyte apoptosis
Silencing CAMP gene inhibited the proliferation of osteoarthritis articular cartilage cells and promoted their apoptosis. a The expression level of CAMP mRNA in Control, sh-NC, and sh-CAMP-transfected HC-OA cells was detected by qRT-PCR. b the expression level of CAMP protein in Control, sh-NC, and sh-CAMP-transfected HC-OA cell was detected by western blot. c The cell proliferation ability of Control, sh-NC, and sh-CAMP-transfected HC-OA cells was detected by CCK-8. d The apoptotic ability of Control, sh-NC, and sh-CAMP-transfected HC-OA cells was detected by flow cytometry. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001, compare with Control
