Presence of specific chondrogenic markers in the differentiating COR suture mesenchyme. (A) Expression analysis of chondrogenic markers by qPCR showing a chondrogenic pattern of the differentiating COR suture mesenchyme in Twist1+/− mice. By postnatal day 15 upregulation of osteocalcin (Oc) is observed, as result of the COR suture closure. (B) Immunohistochemistry for Sox9 and Col II confirm cartilage tissue formation in the COR suture of Twist1+/− at day p11. Scale bar: 10 μm Expression analysis of chondrogenic markers by qPCR showing a chondrogenic pattern of the differentiating COR suture mesenchyme.
