Figure 3 Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining of osteoclasts in different groups (magnification, ×400). (A) Control group exposed to phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). (B) Cells exposed to receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) for osteoclast induction. (C) Empty vector group exposed to RANKL and M-CSF. (D) hsa_circ_0021739 overexpression group exposed to RANKL and M-CSF. (E) Microscopic images showing cell morphology and numbers of TRAP-positive cells. *** P<0.0001.
