cGMP level of lumbar vertebrae and culture medium of ATDC5 cells. (a) cGMP content of lumbar vertebrae of mice injected with DEX, CNP-53, and/or vehicle, and (b) cGMP concentration of culture media of ATDC5 cells incubated with DEX, CNP-22, and/or vehicle. (a) n = 4 and (b) n = 3 each, in DEX(−)/CNP(−), DEX(+)/CNP(−), DEX(−)/CNP(+), and DEX(+)/CNP(+). *P < 0.05.
