Figure Lengend Snippet: OSCs are sufficient for the occurrence of bone mesenchymal stem cells during bone remodeling A) Schematic diagram of the tibia fracture model. B) Representative radiographs of the mouse fracture model via X-ray. C) USA300/Eno-Antares2 tracing bacteria showed the infection condition of fracture lesions every 4 days. D) Bar plot of infection conditions among each time point with USA300/Eno-Antares2 tracing bacteria. All data are shown as the mean ± SD, n = 5. **P ≤ 0.01, *P < 0.05; NS, not significant (P > 0.05). E, F and G) Immunofluorescence staining of IDO1 (red) and CD90 (purple) in normal fracture lesions and infected fracture lesions were stained in sections; E for 2 weeks after fracture, F for 3 weeks after fracture, G for 4 weeks after fracture; Scale bars: 50 μm. H and I) The violin graph shows the statistical results of purple fluorescence intensity (CD90-AF647 nm) representing the number of MSCs (H) and red fluorescence intensity (IDO1-AF568 nm) representing the number of OSCs (I). (n = 5) P values are displayed over the data. BF represents the normal fracture group, and OBF represents the infected fracture group.
