Figure 8

Photomicrographs of the cryosections of the synovial membrane of a horse metacarpophalangeal joint showing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) immunoreactivity in synoviocytes (A–H). (A–C) The white arrows indicate the DAPI (Blue) labeled nuclei of synoviocytes brightly immunolabelled with the anti-vimentin (Red) antibody which expressed faint-to-moderate PPARα (Green) immunoreactivity. It is possible to see the indistinct PPARα immunostaining of the upper portions of the cells lining the joint cavity. (E–H) The figures show the longitudinal sections of two villi of the synovial membrane in which the arrows indicate the DAPI (Blue) labeled nuclei (E) of the cells, likely fibroblast-like synoviocytes and fibroblasts, co-expressing faint-to-moderate PPARα-(Green) (F) and bright vimentin-(Red) (G) immunoreactivity. (D, H) Merged images (Orange). Scale bar = 50 μm.
