Figure 2. ICT inhibits osteoclast differentiation induced by RANKL. (A) Representative TRAP staining images of BMMs treated with DMSO or different doses of ICT in the presence of M-CSF and RANKL for 5 days. (B, C) Quantification of the number and area of TRAP-positive cells. (D) Representative TRAP staining images of BMMs treated with ICT in the presence of M-CSF and RANKL for the indicated time. (E, F) Quantification of the number and area of TRAP-positive cells. All data were presented as mean ± SD, n = 3. Abbreviation: ns: not statistical significance; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
