Fig. 5From: CD157 in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells mediates mitochondrial production and transfer to improve neuronal apoptosis and functional recovery after spinal cord injuryCD157 overexpression in BMSCs attenuates inflammation and apoptosis of the injured neurons in vivo (1). a Schematic diagram of the spinal cord. b BBB scores of injured rats (n = 6). *p < 0.05, &p < 0.05 vs SCI+Mock group; ####p < 0.001 vs SCI+shRNA group. Representative c Nissl staining images of the spinal cord. The red rectangle showed the injured site. Scale bar, 250 μm. d, f Representative immunofluorescence images of Grp 78 and NF-κB of neurons at the injured site. The white arrows indicate the positive cells. Scale bars, 100 μm. e Statistics of Grp 78 positive rate. n.s., non-significant, ****p < 0.0001 vs SCI group. #p < 0.05, ####p < 0.0001 vs Mock group. g Statistics of NF-κB intranuclear content. *p < 0.05, ****p < 0.0001 vs SCI group. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 vs Mock groupBack to article page
