Inactivation of PI3K/AKT suppresses BMP2-induced endochondral ossification. (A) Safranin O staining at 9 days after the operation. (B) X-ray radiography for bone formation at 3 weeks after the operation. (C) Hematoxylin and eosin staining at 3 weeks after the operation. (D) Bone histomorphometric analysis, including i) the ratio of CV/TV%, ii) the BV/TV%, iii) trabecular number, iv) trabecular thickness and v) trabecular spacing (n=3). Scale bar, 100 µm. *P<0.05; **P<0.01. BMP, bone morphogenetic protein; C, cortical rim; T, trabecular structure; CV/TV, cartilage volume/tissue volume; BV/TV, ratio of bone volume/tissue volume.
