Fig. 6. Aggrecan staining co-localizes with CD90 expressing in human and rat synovium.

Fig. 6

Human (normal and OA) and rat (normal and OA) synovium was doubled labeled for aggrecan (red) and CD90 (green), a marker of synovial progenitor/MSCs in both human and rat. In normal human synovium (A), CD90 (B) and aggrecan (C) were found to be highly co-localized, mainly at the intimal surface, but also within the sub-intimal layer adjacent to vessels. In OA synovium (D), CD90 (E) and aggrecan (F) were also found to be highly co-localized in the intimal and sub-intimal layers. In normal rat synovium (G), CD90 (H) positive cells were also found to express aggrecan (I). In OA synovium (J), CD90 (K) positive cells also expressed aggrecan (L). Scale bars equal 50 µm.
