a CisGenome browser screenshots showing Runx2 and reference engagement around Col2a1 (Chr15: 97,825,000 − 97,840,000) and Mmp13 (Chr9: 7,265,000 − 7,280,000). Lower panels show genomic regions cloned into the pGL4.10[luc] vector. b Luciferase activities of enhancer regions in mouse chondrocytes exposed to various concentrations of IL-1β. c, d Luciferase activities of enhancer regions in mouse chondrocytes transfected with various ratios of Runx2 and Sox9, or GFP control. e Luciferase activities of enhancer regions in chondrocytes from Runx2fl/+ (R2-Hetero Cntl), Col2a1-CreERT2; Runx2fl/+ (R2-Hetero cKO), Runx2fl/fl (R2-Homo Cntl), and Col2a1-CreERT2; Runx2fl/fl (R2-Homo cKO) mice with or without IL-1β exposure. n = 3 (be) biologically independent experiments. Data shown mean ± SD. ns not significant. #P < 0.05 vs control (white bars) (b), *P < 0.05 (ce); one-way ANOVA test with Turkey’s post hoc test. RLA relative luciferase activity.
