From: Cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) gene promoter methylation induces chondrocyte apoptosis
CAMP gene methylation inhibited the proliferation of osteoarthritis articular cartilage cells and promoted their apoptosis. a The cell proliferation ability of Control, sh-CAMP-transfected HC-OA cells, and 5-μM AZA-treated HC-OA cells were detected by CCK-8. b The apoptotic rate of Control, sh-CAMP-transfected HC-OA cells and 5-μM AZA-treated HC-OA cells were detected by flow cytometry. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, compared with Control
