UC-MSC transplantation played a beneficial role in osteoporosis in CIA mice. (a–e) Micro-CT showed that the bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular bone volume/total volume (BV/TV), and trabecular number (Tb.N) of the femur were significantly decreased and trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) was significantly increased in CIA mice, compared with that in DBA/1 mice (n = 3 in each group). (f–i) The BMD (P = 0.0659), trabecular BV/TV (P = 0.1046), Tb.N, and Tb.Sp were partially improved in UC-MSC-treated CIA mice compared with control mice (n = 3 in each group). (j) H&E staining showed an increased Tb.N (arrow) in UC-MSC-treated CIA mice than in the control and ZA group (photographed at ×100). ∗P < 0.05; ∗∗P < 0.01; ∗∗∗P < 0.001.
