Fig. 6From: The ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate alleviates CoCrMo alloy particles induced osteolysis by regulating NLRP3 inflammasome and osteoclast differentiationBHB inhibits that function of osteoclast. A Representative co-staining (MMP9 and TRAF6) immunofluorescence image of osteoclast. Scale bar: 200 μm. B Representative image of CTSK, MMP9, TRAP after invention with BHB by western blot. C The gene expression of CTSK, MMP9, and TRAP. n = 3. D Quantification of CTSK, MMP9, and TRAP. n = 3. E Representative Phalloidin labeling F-actin image of osteoclasts. Scale bar: 200 μm.
