Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 6. Repopulation of adseverin-positive chondrocytes attenuated changes in Indian hedgehog and Runx2 expression despite increased proliferation, ap- optosis, collagen type X, and decreased aggrecan and F-actin. Immunohistochemical staining and quantification at 18 weeks of (A and B) adseverin, (C and D) Ihh, and (E and F) Ki67, as well as immunostaining for (G) aggrecan in the articular cartilage of Adseverin−/−and Adseverin+/+ mice. Scale bars, 200 μm. (H) Apoptotic chon- drocytes and the actin cytoskeleton were detected by immunofluorescent staining with TUNEL (green) and phalloidin (red), respectively. DAPI (blue) stains nuclei. Scale bar, 400 μm. Higher-magnification images of the red or white dashed box in regions are in fig. S6. (I) Quantification of TUNEL-positive cells in the articular cartilage of Adseverin−/−and Adseverin+/+ mice. Immunohistochemical staining of hypertrophic markers (J) Runx2 with (K) quantification and (L) collagen type X in the articular cartilage of Adseverin−/−versus Adseverin+/+ mice. Dot plots represent the mean with minimum and maximum values. Statistical analysis was assessed using Student’s unpaired two-tailed t test (B, D, F, I, and K). The number of biological replicates in each group and P values are indicated in the figure.
