Effects of p38 inhibition on GAG level and the degree of chondrocyte differentiation in TGF-β1-induced BMSCs. a GAG assay and b Alcian blue staining showed that the GAG level and the number of blue-stained cells (the nuclei of chondrocytes can be blue-stained) in BMSCs were distinctly increased in TGF-β1-induced BMSCs, while p38 silence inhibited chondrogenic differentiation significantly. ***p < 0.001 vs. control; ##p < 0.01 vs. TGF-β1
