HDAC4 and m-HDAC4 attenuate articular cartilage damage. a The Ad-m-HDAC4 treated rats had stronger Safranin O staining and less-damaged cartilage surface than the Ad-HDAC4 treated rats. The most severe Safranin O staining lost and cartilage surface damage were detected in rats that underwent ACLT operation and treated with Ad-GFP. Top panel scale bars: 100 μm; bottom panel scale bars: 50 μm. b OARSI scores were lower in in the Ad-m-HDAC4 treated rats than in the Ad-HDAC4 treated rats. The OARSI scores was highest in the ACLT rats and treated with Ad-GFP and sham-operated rats had the lowest scores. * indicates P < 0.05.
