O3 decreased the mRNA levels of IL-6, TNF-α and MMP-3, MMP-13 in chondrocytes treated with IL-1β. A qRT-PCR for the mRNA expression of IL-6 and TNF-α in each group; B qRT-PCR for the mRNA expression of MMP-3 and MMP-13 in each group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus Control group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 versus IL-1β group; ΔP < 0.05, ΔΔP < 0.01vs. IL-1β + O3 group
