Figure 7
Fluorescence microscopic images showing Runx2 (cytoplasmic and translocated to the nucleus) in the control group (n = 20) with an intense perinuclear staining (40×/scale = 20 µm) (a and b), (100×/scale = 10 µm) (c and d). Celecoxib treatment (n = 20) was similar to the control group (n = 20) (40×/scale = 20 µm) (e and f), (100×/scale = 10 µm) (g and h). Indomethacin treated impaired nuclear translocation of Runx2 which was concentrated close to the basal layer (40×/scale = 20 µm) (i and j), (100×/scale = 10 µm) (k and l). A: ameloblasts, E: enamel layer.
