Figure Lengend Snippet: Femurs from 6-week-old animals were manually de-fleshed and used for all analyses. (A) Femur lengths of WT, Adar +/- , RdRp tg/- , and RdRp tg/- Adar +/- mice (n = 8, 6, 10, and 17 animals respectively). (B) Representative µCT images, distal femur sections and whole bone. (C) Cortical bone volume fraction (BV/TV), n = 8, 7, 10, 17. (D) Trabecular number, n = 8, 7, 9, 17. (E) Trabecular separation, n = 8, 7, 9, 17. (F) Stiffness, n = 8, 7, 10, 15. (G) Maximum load, n = 8, 7, 10, 17. (H) Cortical total mineral density, n = 8, 7, 10, 17. (I) Modulus, n = 8, 7, 10, 17. (J) Ultimate stress, n = 8, 7, 10, 17. Mice with gray fur are indicated by light-blue symbols. Data were analyzed first by using a ROUT test to remove outliers (Q = 1%), which resulted in removal of two mice from one group in one panel (the RdRp tg/- Adar +/- group in , stiffness testing; hence there are 15 mice as opposed to the 17 for this genotype in the other panels). A one-way ANOVA comparing RdRp tg/- Adar +/- to each other group was used followed by a Tukey tests where * = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.01, *** = p < 0.001, **** = p < 0.0001. Data points represent individual animals, horizontal bars indicate means.
Article Snippet: For mouse tissue blots, rabbit anti-Rig-I (1:1,000 dilution, Cell Signaling, 3743), mouse anti-ADAR1 (1:500 dilution, Santa Cruz Bio, sc-73408), rabbit anti-actin (1:5,000 dilution, Cell Signaling, 4967) or the previously described tubulin antibody was used.
