FIG. 3.

Terminal differentiation of chondrocytes and formation of the primary ossification center are delayed in Osx-Cre+/− Capn4flox/flox embryos. Histology and in situ hybridization analysis of proximal tibias isolated from E14.5 (A) and E15.5 (B) embryos. (A) MMP13 mRNA expression was markedly reduced in Osx-Cre+/− Capn4flox/flox embryos. Yellow arrows indicate MMP13 mRNA expression. (B) A spatially restricted expression of Col.10, OP, and MMP13 was observed in Osx-Cre+/− Capn4flox/flox in comparison with that in control littermates.
