Overexpression of WDR81 enhances the therapeutic effect of SCAPs in alleviating rat experimental TMJOA cartilage degeneration. Representative HE staining (A) and safranin O staining (B) image for four groups of TMJ condyles. (C) Immunohistochemistry staining of COL2 protein expression in TMJ cartilage. (D) Mankin scores obtained according to safranin O and HE staining. (E) The percentage of proteoglycan for four groups obtained by safranin O staining. (F) Quantification of the COL2 positive staining. n = 3 in each group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. Error bars: mean ± SD
