Protective effect of NPS-EMSCs on neurons and the expression of neurotrophic factors following SCI in rats. (a) Representative images of NT-3 immunofluorescence staining after SCI. NT-3 (green), DAPI (blue), scale bar = 500 μm. (b) Western blot results for NT-3 in the spinal cord tissue(n = 6). (c) Western blot statistics of NT-3 in spinal cord tissue. (d) Immunofluorescence staining of NT-3 in EMSCs and NPS-EMSCs. (e) Western blot results for NT-3 expression in EMSCs and NPS-EMSCs (n = 3). (f) Statistics of the NT-3 immunofluorescence staining results for EMSCs and NPS-EMSCs. (g) Western blot results for NT-3 in in EMSCs and NPS-EMSCs. * P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ns: no significant difference
