Lactoferrin Inhibits IL-1β-Induced Chondrocyte Apoptosis Through AKT1-Induced CREB1 Activation
Background/Aims: Chondrocyte apoptosis is largely responsible for cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis (OA). Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) is widely used as a chondrocyte apoptosis-inducing agent, while lactoferrin (LF) is an anabolic reagent which has the potential to inhibit chondrocyte apoptosis...
