CD68 Antibody - #DF7518

Fig. 3 RBA-NPs display targeting capability in vivo. a Confocal micrographs showed that CD44 receptor (green) and folate receptor (green) expression levels on macrophages in the inflamed joints of AIA rats. Macrophages were marked by CD68 antibody (red). Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar = 50 μm. b, c Confocal micrographs showed co-localization of free DiD and DiD-NPs with CD44 receptor and folate receptor in the inflamed joints of AIA rats. Free DiD and DiD-NPs were colored red. CD44 receptor and folate receptor were colored green. Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar = 50 μm. n = 5 independent animals. d The imaging of DiD fluorescence in joints after intravenous administrated with free DiD or DiD-NPs at different time points after administration. n = 5 independent animals. The DiD-NPs group showed higher fluorescence intensity at each time point, and fluorescence persisted as long as 48 h. e The distribution of DiD-NPs in heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and joints in AIA rats were evaluated at 6, 12 and 24 h after administration. n = 5 independent animals. The fluorescence intensities were stronger in inflamed joints

Fig. 5. Chondrocyte apoptosis and immune molecular biomarkers were inhibited by BBR binding to SP-D in vivo in OA. OA model rats (n = 5/group) were injected using 25 μl of 200 μM BBR, followed by 25 μl rhSP-D (40 μg/mL) 1 day later. Sham-operated and OA-induction groups received an injection of 50 μl PBS into the right knee joint. For rats receiving rAAV-GFP or rAAV-SP-D shRNA, injections were performed for 10 consecutive days beginning 1 day after the initial BBR injection. At 10 weeks post-surgery, animals were sacrificed and the knee joints were collected for TUNEL and IHC analysis. (A) TUNEL staining (400 ×) was used to assess apoptosis. The p-p65, TLR4, F4/80, CD68, and CD34 expression was assessed via IHC (400 × with higher 800 × magnification inset). (B) Quantification of the indicated proteins in IHC images. Each column represents the mean ± SEM (n = 5). ***P < 0.001 versus the sham-operated group; ##P < 0.01 and ###P < 0.001 versus the OA-induction group; &P < 0.05 and &&P < 0.01 versus the OA + BBR group.
