Profiling of Stem/Progenitor Cell Regulatory Genes of the Synovial Joint by Genome-Wide RNA-Seq Analysis

Figure 1

Laser capture microdissection (LCM) of synovial joint condyle. (a) HE-staining showed the location and morphology of articular zone (az), mature zone (mz), and hypertrophic zone (hz) of mandibular condyle of postnatal day 7 (P7) mouse. (b-d) Laser capture of az, mz and hz, respectively. (e) Representative bioanalyzer electropherograms showing the position of 18S and 28S rRNA peaks, indicating RNA quality from each cell zones. Scale bar=200 μm.
