MKP-1 gene transfer attenuated osteoclastogenesis induced by LPS. Rat tissue sections (7 μm) were stained for tartate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). (a) TRAP staining of representative tissue sections of rat maxillae from indicated treatment groups. TRAP-positive (TRAP+) osteoclasts were stained red. The scale bars represent 200 μm. (b) Number of TRAP+ cells in each tissue section. Horizontal bar indicates mean TRAP+ cell counts (n=7 for PBS groups, n=10 for LPS groups, *** p<0.001).
