Figure 1: H&E stained section of tibiae from 26 day old mice. Homozygous Arp2/3 loss was driven by a Col2-Cre (right) and littermate control retaining one copy of Arp2/3 is shown (left). Boxes indicate approximate location of inset (bottom). All scale bars are 50 μm.

3. Figure 2: H&E stained sections of the tibia of mice at 6 months (top) and 12 months (bottom) of age. All mice had Aggrecan-CreERT2 and received tamoxifen at 4 months of age, but controls retained one copy of functional Arp2/3. Scale bars are 100 μm.

4. Figure 3. Safranin-O stained sections were graded for articular cartilage structure (A) and proteoglycan loss (B). A semiquantitative score of 0–12 was summed across four quadrants of the joint (high scores consistent with OA, max = 48). # indicates p<0.05 to all other groups.
