Fig. 4

O3 increased autophagy of chondrocytes treated with IL-1β but this reversed by GW9662. A. Western blot for the protein expression of LC3 II, P62 and β-actin in each group; B. The numbers of autophagosomes in chondrocytes. The arrows indicate the autophagosomes. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus Control group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 versus IL-1β group; ΔP < 0.05, ΔΔP < 0.01 versus IL-1β + O3 group
