Figure 3: FGF23 is not expressed in mature (MEPE-expressing) osteocytes.

Figure 3:

FGF23 (red); MEPE (green); and their co-expression (yellow) in cancellous bone of a pediatric dialysis patient. Live nuclei stain blue (DAPI). Solid arrows indicate FGF23 immunoreactivity and dashed arrows signify MEPE immunoreactivity; arrowheads identify osteocytes with co-expression. TB: trabecular bone; BM: bone marrow. The diffuse, low-intensity marrow auto-fluorescence in each section contrasts with the bright, distinct staining of individual osteocytes in trabecular bone.
