Effect of DAEP on protein expression in NF-κB pathway. Total protein of the articular cartilage from the distal femur of the OA limb was collected and then evaluated by Western blot. β-actin was used as an internal control (a). Protein expression relating to inflammation (b) and matrix degradation (c) was quantified by densitometry using ImageJ software and normalized to the β-actin level. Results are shown in bar charts with mean + standard error of mean (SEM), * p < 0.05 compared with the Sham. n = 3, 6 and 6 for Sham, Control and DAEP group, respectively
