AAV-Runx1 overexpression alleviates the pathological changes in growth plate cartilage. a Histological staining, including H&E, Masson, and safranin O, showing the effects of AAV-Runx1 overexpression on growth plate cartilage at 24 weeks after ACLT surgery. b μ-CT results showing changes in the thickness of growth plate cartilage in AAV-Runx1-overexpressing articular cartilage at 24 weeks after ACLT surgery. c μ-CT results showing the changes in subchondral cancellous bone in AAV-Runx1-overexpressing articular cartilage at 24 weeks after ACLT surgery. d Quantitative analysis of the thickness (width) in b in growth plate cartilage in AAV-Runx1-overexpressing mice. e Quantitative analysis of BV/TV in c in AAV-Runx1-overexpressing mice at 24 weeks after ACLT surgery. f IHC staining showing the changes in Col2a1 in the growth plate in AAV-Runx1-overexpressing articular cartilage at 24 weeks after ACLT surgery. g Immunofluorescence staining showing the changes in SOX9 in the growth plate in AAV-Runx1-overexpressing articular cartilage at 24 weeks after ACLT surgery. h Immunofluorescence staining showing the changes in ColX in the growth plate in AAV-Runx1-overexpressing articular cartilage at 24 weeks after ACLT surgery. i Immunofluorescence staining showing the changes in MMP13 in the growth plate in AAV-Runx1-overexpressing articular cartilage at 24 weeks after ACLT surgery. These results are based on at least three independent experiments (n = 3). All significance data presented in d and e are based on two-tailed Student’s t-tests
