    R&D Systems recombinant mouse igf1
    (A) Differential gene expression analysis was performed comparing H2B–EGFP –positive and H2B–EGFP –negative cells within the MC-progenitor cluster identified by single-cell RNA sequencing. Genes are ranked by statistical significance. Foxm1 is significantly enriched in the H2B–EGFP –positive population, whereas Tgfb1 is enriched in the H2B–EGFP –negative population, indicating divergent transcriptional programs associated with Wnt activity. (B) Feature plots were generated to visualize expression of representative genes across mandibular condylar cartilage populations. Wnt-responsive cells show enriched expression of Foxm1 and IGF signaling–related genes ( <t>Igf1</t> , Igf1r , Igfbp4 , Igfbp7 ), whereas Wnt-low populations express Tgfb1 and related factors ( Igf2r , Igfbp5 , Igfbp6 ), supporting distinct signaling states. (C) Western blot analysis was performed in isolated Wnt-responsive cells transfected with control vector or constitutively active β-catenin (S33Y). Cells were stimulated with recombinant IGF1 for the indicated time points. β-catenin activation enhances Foxm1 expression and downstream mitogenic signaling, including ERK and IGF1R phosphorylation, indicating that β-catenin promotes proliferative signaling responses. (D) Co-immunoprecipitation was performed to assess interaction between β-catenin and Foxm1. Cell lysates immunoprecipitated with anti–β-catenin antibody show enrichment of Foxm1 compared with control IgG, indicating a physical association between β-catenin and Foxm1. (E,F) Histological and immunofluorescence analyses were performed on mandibular condyles from control and Axin2 CreERT2 ;Ctnnb1 fl/+ ;Foxm1 fl/+ compound heterozygous mice at P42. H&E staining reveals reduced fibrocartilage thickness, and Ki67 staining shows decreased proliferative activity, indicating cooperative effects of β-catenin and Foxm1 in maintaining fibrocartilage proliferation. Scale bar, 100 μm. (G) Quantification of fibrocartilage thickness and Ki67-positive cells was performed. Compound heterozygous mice show reduced fibrocartilage thickness and decreased proliferation compared with controls. Data are presented as mean ± s.d. Each dot represents one biologically independent animal. (H,I) Histological and immunofluorescence analyses were performed on mandibular condyles from control and Axin2 CreERT2 ;Foxm1 fl/fl mice at P42. Foxm1 deletion results in marked condylar hypoplasia and reduced proliferative activity, indicating a critical role for Foxm1 in fibrocartilage growth. Scale bar, 100 μm. (J) Quantification of cartilage thickness and proliferative indices was performed in Foxm1 conditional knockout mice. Foxm1 deficiency significantly reduces cartilage growth and proliferation. Data are presented as mean ± s.d. Each dot represents one biologically independent animal. Statistical significance was assessed using two-tailed Student’s t-test. n.s., not significant; **P < 0.01; ****P < 0.0001. Abbreviations: sz, superficial zone; fc, fibrocartilage zone; cc, chondrocartilage zone.

    (A) Differential gene expression analysis was performed comparing H2B–EGFP –positive and H2B–EGFP –negative cells within the MC-progenitor cluster identified by single-cell RNA sequencing. Genes are ranked by statistical significance. Foxm1 is significantly enriched in the H2B–EGFP –positive population, whereas Tgfb1 is enriched in the H2B–EGFP –negative population, indicating divergent transcriptional programs associated with Wnt activity. (B) Feature plots were generated to visualize expression of representative genes across mandibular condylar cartilage populations. Wnt-responsive cells show enriched expression of Foxm1 and IGF signaling–related genes ( Igf1 , Igf1r , Igfbp4 , Igfbp7 ), whereas Wnt-low populations express Tgfb1 and related factors ( Igf2r , Igfbp5 , Igfbp6 ), supporting distinct signaling states. (C) Western blot analysis was performed in isolated Wnt-responsive cells transfected with control vector or constitutively active β-catenin (S33Y). Cells were stimulated with recombinant IGF1 for the indicated time points. β-catenin activation enhances Foxm1 expression and downstream mitogenic signaling, including ERK and IGF1R phosphorylation, indicating that β-catenin promotes proliferative signaling responses. (D) Co-immunoprecipitation was performed to assess interaction between β-catenin and Foxm1. Cell lysates immunoprecipitated with anti–β-catenin antibody show enrichment of Foxm1 compared with control IgG, indicating a physical association between β-catenin and Foxm1. (E,F) Histological and immunofluorescence analyses were performed on mandibular condyles from control and Axin2 CreERT2 ;Ctnnb1 fl/+ ;Foxm1 fl/+ compound heterozygous mice at P42. H&E staining reveals reduced fibrocartilage thickness, and Ki67 staining shows decreased proliferative activity, indicating cooperative effects of β-catenin and Foxm1 in maintaining fibrocartilage proliferation. Scale bar, 100 μm. (G) Quantification of fibrocartilage thickness and Ki67-positive cells was performed. Compound heterozygous mice show reduced fibrocartilage thickness and decreased proliferation compared with controls. Data are presented as mean ± s.d. Each dot represents one biologically independent animal. (H,I) Histological and immunofluorescence analyses were performed on mandibular condyles from control and Axin2 CreERT2 ;Foxm1 fl/fl mice at P42. Foxm1 deletion results in marked condylar hypoplasia and reduced proliferative activity, indicating a critical role for Foxm1 in fibrocartilage growth. Scale bar, 100 μm. (J) Quantification of cartilage thickness and proliferative indices was performed in Foxm1 conditional knockout mice. Foxm1 deficiency significantly reduces cartilage growth and proliferation. Data are presented as mean ± s.d. Each dot represents one biologically independent animal. Statistical significance was assessed using two-tailed Student’s t-test. n.s., not significant; **P < 0.01; ****P < 0.0001.
