Cx43 expression was consistent with the expression of mineralization-related proteins induced by CTGF in vivo. A, B Representative IHC staining illustrated the protein expression of Osx and Runx2 with or without the treatment of CTGF on 0th day, 14th and 28th day. Images derived from three independent data. C, D Representative IHC staining illustrated the protein expression of CAP and Col1 with or without the treatment of CTGF on 0th day, 14th and 28th day. Images derived from three independent data. E, F The means of IOD of Osx and Runx2 in Fig. 4A, B. *p < 0.05. G, H The means of IOD of CAP and Cx43in Fig. 4A, B. *p < 0.05. I IHC results represented that the protein abundance of Cx43 with or without the treatment of CTGF on 0th day, 14th and 28th day. Images derived from three independent data. J The means of IOD of CAP and Cx43in Fig. 4A, B. *p < 0.05. K IF results represented that the abundance of Cx43 in CTGF-treated periodontal tissues. Cx43, red; nucleus, blue
