Fig. 7From: LncRNA MALAT1 exhibits positive effects on nucleus pulposus cell biology in vivo and in vitro by sponging miR-503the effect of miR-503 on MALAT1 regulated MAPK signaling pathway a NPCs were transfected with a vector, upon IL-1β stimulation; the phosphorylated protein levels of p38, JUN, Fos were determined using Immunoblotting assays. The data are presented as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *P < 0.05, compared to control group; #P < 0.05, compared to IL-1β group; & P < 0.05, compared to IL-1β + OV-MALAT1 groupBack to article page
