Hesperidin suppresses the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) subunit p65 of MSCs. MSCs were treated in the absence (control) or presence of 5 μM hesperidin, and relative mRNA (a) and protein (b) expressions of NF-κB subunit p65 were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Western blot was representative of at least three independent experiments, with relative intensity (p65/GAPDH) indicated below as mean ± SD. Data were shown as mean ± SD from at least three independent experiments. * p < 0.05, versus control
