The pathways involved in H2O2-induced apoptosis in annulus fibrosus cells. a Western blot analysis to indicate the expressions of ERK1/2, JNK, and p38. b Flow cytometry analysis to investigate cell apoptosis after application of MAPK kinases blockers (ERK1/2: U0126, JNK: SP600125, p38: SB203580), caspase-3 blocker (Z-VAD-FMK), the mitochondrial pathway inhibitor (NS3694), and caspase-12 blocker (Z-ATAD-FMK). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.001
