Co-occurrence of synovial inflammation and cartilage erosion in experimental RA and OA mouse models. (a) Safranin-O/hematoxylin staining and enlarged images of synovium and cartilage in knee joints of DBA/1 J mice immunized with type II collagen (CIA) or not immunized (NI) (n=15 per group). (b) Representative images of synovium and cartilage in knee joints from C57BL/6 mice after sham surgery or destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) (n=15 per group). (c) Scoring of synovial inflammation (synovitis) or cartilage destruction (Mankin score) in DMM surgery-induced OA mice. (d) Safranin-O/hematoxylin staining in the cartilage of C57BL/6 mice injected with empty adenovirus (Ad-C) or Ad-Epas1 (1 × 109 plaque-forming units) (n=10 per group). Scale bar: 50 μm.
