Regulatory role of COMP on ECM degradation and remodeling in NP cells. A Western blotting analyses. Comparisons between different concentrations of rhCOMP groups in terms of the expression of COMP and ECM components. B The representative images of immunofluorescent staining of COMP (green) and ADAMTS7 (red) in the NP cells after treatment with various concentrations of rhCOMP. C Western blotting analysis of the expression of COMP and ECM components in NP cells with or without COMP siRNAs transfection. D The representative images of immunofluorescent staining of COMP (green) and ADAMTS7 (red) in the NP cells after with or without si-COMP transfection
