Ajugol alleviates TBHP-induced apoptosis and ECM degradation in chondrocytes. A TUNEL staining images showing the effect of different gradients of Ajugol following the addition of 30 μM TBHP. B–E Protein expression levels of CHOP, Bcl-2, and Bax in hondrocytes stimulated with 30 μM TBHP and treated with different concentration gradients of Ajugol. F Immunofluorescence results of CHOP and Bcl-2 in chondrocytes stimulated with 30 μM TBHP and treated with different concentration gradients of Ajugol. G–I Protein levels of Collagen II and MMP13 in each group; J Immunofluorescence staining of Collagen II. All values are presented as mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). *P < 0.05,** P < 0.01,***P < 0.001
