Effects of dioscin on expression of β- catenin protein in MC3T3-E1 cells and MG -63 cells. MC3T3-E1 cells and MG-63 cells were treated with vehicle, different concentrations of dioscin (0.25 μg/ml, 0.5 μg/ml and 1.0 μg/ml) or lovastatin (0.04 μM) for 72 h. Then the expression levels of β-catenin proteins in MC3T3-E1 cells (A) and MG-63 cells (B) were examined by Western blot. Results were obtained from three independent experiments and expressed as mean ± SD. **P < 0.01 vs Control.
