FIGURE 10

Alizarin Red S staining, COL X and CD31 immunofluorescence is reduced in pellets treated with PTHrP after 3 weeks of implantation in nude mice. After 3 weeks of implantation in nude mice, pellets were harvested, fixed in 10% formalin, sectioned, subjected to Alizarin Red S staining, and probed with fluorescent antibodies to COL X and CD31. Sections were imaged by brightfield/fluorescent microscopy. The cell source nasal chondrocytes (NC), bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC), or coculture (CC) and PTHrP treatment is indicated on top of the images. (A–E) COL X and DAPI are shown in blue in the merged images. (F–J) CD31 and DAPI are shown in green and blue, respectively, in the merged images. (K–O) Alizarin Red S staining histological images. All main and inset images are shown at 200x and 100x optical zoom, respectively. The scale bars are 100 μm.
