Histology of bone defects from mouse femurs and associated Hif-1α and Alp gene expressions. a Representative images of mouse femoral bone defect histological section (H & E staining). b and c – Hif-1α and Alp gene expression in mouse femoral bone defects on day 7. Data of quantitative analysis are the means ± SD, n = 5. Significant effect of the treatment compared to the blank group: *p < 0.05 and ***p < 0.001; the control group: #p < 0.05, ###p < 0.001; the CoCl2 group: &&&p < 0.001; and the CoCl2 + inhibitor group: $$$p < 0.001. Inhibitor: STAT3 inhibitor, OB: original bone, NB: newly formed bone, Red arrow: defect area with failure to regenerate bone
