Figure Lengend Snippet: Slit3 is specifically knocked out in osteoclasts of Slit3 ‐CKO mice. a) Schematic diagram of Slit3 ‐CKO mice. b) Immunofluorescence of SLIT3 (green) and CD51/61 (red) in subchondral bone. The white dashed line represents the boundary between subchondral bone and cartilage. Scale bars:10 µm. c) Quantitative analysis in panel (b). n = 6. d) qRT‐PCR analysis of the gene expression of Slit3 in subchondral bone in the two groups. n = 3. e,f) Western blot and its quantitative analysis, g) ELISA, and h,i) immunohistochemical staining and quantitative analysis of SLIT3 expression in subchondral bone in the WT and Slit3 ‐CKO groups. n = 3. Scale bars: 70 µm. Statistical analyses were performed using Student's t ‐test. * p < 0.05. ** p < 0.01. *** p < 0.001. **** p <0.0001. ns : no significance.
Article Snippet: To evaluate the axonal morphology of the TGs in the different groups (SLIT3 protein, RPD353Mu01, Cloud‐clone, USA; Neutralizing antibodies against SLIT3, AF3629, R&D Systems, USA), immunofluorescence labeling (β3‐tubulin, 1:300, 2144, Cell Signaling Technology) and crystal violet staining ( n = 6) were conducted.
