Fig 5. Transcript analysis of bone associated genes.

Fig 5

A) Differences, at the age of 12 months, in expression of genes associated with bone growth in Mcpt4-/- bone tissue (n = 4) compared to wt mice (n = 4); osteoblast marker Sp7 (osterix), the osteoclast marker Ctsk (cathepsin K), Bmp4 (bone morphogenetic protein 4), Cdh11 (cadherin 11) and Mmp2 (matrix metalloprotease 2). B) Differences, at the age of 7 months, in expression of genes associated with bone growth in Mcpt4-/- bone tissue (n = 3) compared to wt mice (n = 3) as described in (A). Results are given as means ± SD. p < 0.05 *, p < 0.01 ** and p < 0.001 *** vs. wt.
