Altered marker expression by Runx1. (a) Safranin O staining and immunohistochemistry with antibodies to marker proteins in articular cartilage of 16-week-old Col2a1-Cre;Runx1fl/fl and Runx1fl/fl littermates under physiological conditions. Inset boxes in Safranin O staining indicate regions shown in enlarged safranin O and immunostaining images. Scale bars, 50 μm. (b) mRNA levels of marker genes in Runx1fl/fl primary articular chondrocytes adenovirally transduced (Ax) with GFP, Runx1, or Cre after 5 days of culture. *P < 0.01 versus Ax-GFP. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of six samples per group.
