Effects of p65 overexpression (OE) in MSCs. Relative mRNA (a) and protein (b) expressions of NF-κB subunit p65 were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively, after the MSCs were transduced with either empty control or p65 lentiviral particle, in the absence (control) or presence of 5 μM hesperidin. 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 < 0.01, versus control, hesperidin and hesperidin+p65 OE. * p < 0.05, versus control and hesperidin+p65 OE. ns not significant, versus control
