2. Fig. 1
Effect of IL-1β and IL-6 on SOD activity. A&C: Chondrocytes were incubated for 24h with or without increased concentrations of IL-1β or IL-6. B: Chondrocytes were incubated for 4–96h without or with IL-1β (0.18ng/ml) or IL-6 (100ng/ml). D: SOD activity assay was performed with KCN (1mM) to discriminate Mn and Cu/Zn SOD activities. Each condition was tested in triplicate. Results are expressed as mean±s.e.m. of three independent experiments. ***P<0.001 vs not stimulated with IL-1β; ○○○P<0.001 vs not stimulated with IL-6.

3. Fig. 2
Effect of IL-1β on Mn (A), Cu/Zn (B) and EC (C) SOD gene expression. Chondrocytes were cultured for 24h with increasing amounts of IL-1β. Each condition was tested in triplicate. Experiments were performed three times and data from a representative experiment are shown. *P<0.05 or **P<0.01 or ***P<0.001 vs not stimulated with IL-1β.

Effect of IL-1β and IL-6 on GPX activity (A) and gene expression (B). A: Chondrocytes were incubated for 4–96h without or with IL-1β (0.18ng/ml). Each condition was tested in triplicate. Results are expressed as mean±s.e.m. of three independent experiments. B: Chondrocytes were incubated for 24h without or with increased amounts of IL-1β or IL-6. Each condition was tested in triplicate. Experiments were performed three times and data from a representative experiment are shown. **P<0.01 or ***P<0.001 vs not stimulated with IL-1β; ○○○P<0.001 vs not stimulated with IL-6.

Effect of IL-1β on CAT activity (A&B) and gene expression (C). A: Chondrocytes were incubated for 96h without or with increased amounts of IL-1β. Each condition was tested in triplicate. Results are expressed as mean±s.e.m. of three independent experiments. B: Chondrocytes were incubated for 4–96h without or with IL-1β (0.18ng/ml). Each condition was tested in triplicate. Results are expressed as mean±s.e.m. of three independent experiments. C: Chondrocytes were incubated for 24h without or with increased amounts of IL-1β or IL-6. Each condition was tested in triplicate. Experiments were performed three times and data from a representative experiment are shown. *P<0.05 or ***P<0.001: IL-1β treated groups vs control; ○○○P<0.001: IL-6 treated groups vs control.

7. Fig. 6
Effects of NF-κB inhibitors on SOD activation by IL-1β. After 1h of preincubation with BAY (black bars) or MG132 (gray bars) at indicated concentration, chondrocytes were treated with IL-1β (0.18ng/ml) for the next 24h. Cellular extracts were analyzed for SOD activity (A) or Mn SOD gene expression (B). Each condition was tested in triplicate. Results are expressed as mean±s.e.m. of three independent experiments. ***P<0.001: drug treated groups were significantly different from the IL-1β treated groups.

Effects of MAPK (black bars) and NF-κB inhibitors (gray bars) on GPX gene expression. After 1h of preincubation with SB (20μM), SP (10μM), PD98059 (10μM), BAY (10μM) or MG132 (5μM), chondrocytes were treated with IL-1β (0.18ng/ml) for the next 24h. Cellular extracts were analyzed for GPX gene expression. Experiments were performed three times and data from a representative experiment are shown. **P<0.01 or ***P<0.001: drug treated groups were significantly different from the IL-1β treated group.
