The expression and function of MALAT1 in IL-1β-stimulated NPC. a cell proliferation and b cell numbers of human NPCs in response to IL-1β stimulation were detected (scale bars, 50 μm). c The expression of MALAT1 in response to IL-1β stimulation was determined using real-time PCR assays. d The content of Collagen II in human NPCs (NPCs) in response to IL-1β stimulation was determined using Immunofluorescence staining assays. e-f The protein levels of Collagen II and Aggrecan in NPCs in response to IL-1β stimulation were determined using Immunoblotting assays. The data are presented as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *P < 0.05, compared to control group
