(A) In the rabbit cartilage endplate specimens, H&E staining showed disorganised endplate in the MCs group. (B) Similar to the findings in human endplates, lubricin was found in the endplate of rabbit. Furthermore, lubricin expression was decreased in the MCs endplate compared with the normal endplate ​(Scale bar: 100 ​μm). H&E staining = haematoxylin and eosin staining. IVD: Intervertebral disc; CEP: Cartilaginous endplate; SOC: Secondary ossification center; BEP: Bony endplate; SOC(BEP): SOC is equivalent to the BEP; GP: Growth plate; VB: Vertebral body.
