Increased expression of osteoclast-related genes in vertebral bone from Panx1-deficient mice. The sixth lumbar vertebra was isolated from 6-week-old mice, and the level of the indicated genes was measured by qPCR and corrected by GAPDH as the housekeeping gene. N = 9–12/group. Bars indicate means and lines standard deviations, and each dot corresponds to an individual sample. *: p < 0.05 vs. Panx1^fl/fl mice for the same sex.
