Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of NTP on the expression of RANKL and OPG. Representative IHC analysis images of ( A ) C group, ( B ) L group, ( C ) LR group, ( D ) LRP2 group, and ( E ) LRP5 group on RANKL expression; ( F ) IHC-stained area (%) on RANKL expression; IHC analysis images of ( G ) C group, ( H ) L group, ( I ) LR group, ( J ) LRP2 group, and ( K ) LRP5 group on OPG expression; ( L ) IHC-stained area (%); ( M ) RANKL/OPG ratio. NTP: non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma. Scale bars = 20 μm. Data represent mean ± SD (N = 4/group). *: statistically significant difference ( p < 0.05).
Article Snippet: For antibody incubation, the primary antibodies used to observe receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) expression were rabbit anti-RANKL antibody (PA5-21951, 1:800, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and rabbit anti-OPG antibody (ab203061, 1:800, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), respectively.
