Figure 8. Molecular changes associated with ADSC transplantation in the rat SCI model. (A) Analysis of TGF-β1, PLOD2, MAP2, NSE, GAP43, and GFAP via qRT-PCR in spinal cord samples. (B, C) Western blot analysis of spinal cord samples. Results presented as mean ± SD and evaluated with one-way ANOVA. *P<0.05, compared to sham and ADSC groups; #P<0.05, compared to ADSC and SB groups; &P<0.05, compared to PBS and ADSC+SB groups.
