Receptor activator nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) expression in cartilage, subchondral bone and synovium. Densitometric analysis of the expression of RANKL (A), OPG (B) and the RANKL/OPG ratio (C) in cartilage, subchondral bone and synovium. (D) Representative western blot images for RANKL and OPG detection in cartilage, subchondral bone and synovium. EZ Blue-stained gels used as protein loading controls are also shown for healthy rabbits (H), and rabbits with osteoarthritis (OA) and chronic antigen-induced arthritis (AIA).
