2. Fig. 1
Macroscopic view of right tibial plateau of samples and OARSI macroscopic scoring between groups. (A) Sham group, (B) MNX group, (C) CLX group, (D) PTH group, and the macroscopic scores were illustrated in (E). Medial tibial plateau cartilage surface of animals undergoing MNX operation became rougher and larger than in the Sham group, with cleft and chondral hyperplasia forming on the medial edge of the cartilage. Black arrows indicate lesions of tibial plateau, white arrows indicate osteophytes on the edge of the tibial plateau, and the black arrow head indicates clefts on the tibial plateau.

OARSI Microscopic scoring between groups (toluidine blue staining, 40×) toluidine blue stain of medial tibial plateau of samples. (A) Sham group, (B) MNX group, (C) CLX group, and (D) PTH group. The results of scoring subsets were illustrated in (E–I), and the total scores were illustrated in (J), and the results of cartilage thickness were illustrated in (K). Bars represent length of 1 mm.

Immunohistochemical staining of groups. (100×) This figure demonstrated the expression of (A) AGG, (B) Col-2, (C) caspase-3, (D) ADAMTS4, (E) MMP-13, and (F) periostin in load-bearing areas of cartilage among groups. Bars represent a length of 400 μm.

Analysis of immunohistochemical staining. A–F show the quantified protein levels of (A) AGG, (B) Col-2, (C) caspase-3, (D) ADAMTS4, (E) MMP-13, and (F) periostin in load-bearing areas of cartilage among groups, and G–I show the ratio of (G) AGG/ADAMTS4, (H) Col-II/MMP-13, (I) and Col-II/AGG between groups.
