“Compared with the control group, Dex significantly inhibited cell migration (P < 0.05), while Berb pretreatment could enhance cell migration (P < 0.05).”
“Conclusion Berb attenuated DEX induced reduction of proliferation and migration, oxidative stress, and apoptosis of tendon cells by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and regulated the expression of phenotype related biomarkers in tendon cells.”
“Methods CCK-8 assay was used … cells and the doses of Berb … Dex cytotoxicity; cell wound healing assay was used to detect the effects (P < 0.05) of Berb and Dex … used to measure cell apoptosis; DCF DA fluorescent probe was used to measure the ROS activity of cells.”
