Effect of GP chondrocyte disarrangement on articular cartilage (AC) in the absence of experimental osteoarthritis (OA). (a) Representative Safranin-O Fast Green stained mice joint sections at × 5 and × 20 magnification in NO-WT and NO-EvccKO mice (bars = 250 and 100 µm respectively). (b) Histopathological OARSI Score represented as the sum of tibia and femur scores in NO-WT and NO-EvccKO mice. (c) Representative Haematoxilin-Eosin stained tibia growth plate (GP) sections at × 40 magnification in NO-WT and NO-EvccKO mice (bars = 50 µm). (d) Percentage of cells in columns and column index (CI) in the GP of NO-WT and NO-EvccKO mice. Data are shown as median ± interquartile range (IQR). NO-WT, n = 10–16; NO-EvccKO, n = 5.
