In-situ localization of TGF-β1 mRNA in intervertebral disc material. a Disc areas without evidence of tissue alteration did not show significant positive labeling for TGF-β1 mRNA (case SG No. 3); b in disc regions with cleft formation and cell proliferation, a considerable number of positively labeled disc cells indicating TGF-β1 synthesis is seen (arrow) (case SG No. 10).
