BNTA (0.01-10 μM; 1-7 d) does not decrease cell viability of human osteoarthritis chondrocytes and rat primary chondrocytes.
BNTA (0.1 μM; 2 d) increases SOX9 protein markedly.
BNTA (0.1 μM; 2 d) remarkably increases the COL2A1 and SOX9 protein levels in IL1β-induced rat OA chondrocytes.
BNTA (10 μM; 5 d) increases proteoglycan staining in ATDC5 cells.
BNTA (0.01-10 μM; 6 h) upregulates the expression levels of ECM-related genes COL2A1, ACAN, proteoglycan 4 (PRG4), and SRY-box 9 (SOX9) in human OA chondrocytes.
BNTA (0.01-10 μM; 6 h) increases Col2a1, Acan, Prg4, and Sox9 mRNA levels, with maximum effects around 0.1 μM in IL1β-induced rat OA chondrocytes.
BNTA (0.01-1 μM; 2 or 3 w) enhances anabolism and inhibited inflammatory response in osteoarthritis cartilage explants.
