SDF-1β promotes BMSC-mediated new bone formation following direct tibial transplantation in irradiation-preconditioned animals. Representative H&E-stained coronal sections (through the center of the diaphysis) of the proximal tibia marrow space 4 weeks post-transplantation (ROI: starting immediately beyond the epiphyseal plate and extending 2 mm distally). (A) Vehicle-transplanted (right) tibiae. (B) Tet-Off-SDF-1β (−Dox), (C) Tet-Off-SDF-1β (+Dox), and (D) Tet-Off-EV BMSC-transplanted (left) tibiae at 1.32 × 107 cells/ml (EP: epiphyseal plate, A: adipocyte, M: marrow, T: trabecular bone, C: cortical bone, dashed lines: outline of needle track, 2.5×, bar 500 μm, 20×, bar 20 μm, n = 5/Tet-Off-SDF-1β (−Dox); n = 5/Tet-Off-SDF-1β (+Dox); n = 10/Tet-Off-EV).
