AQP4 expression changes spread to cervical and lumbar segments. Quantitative Western blot analysis showed significantly higher expression levels of AQP4 in: A) lumbar (consisting of pooled L4 and L5 segments), and B) cervical regions (consisting of pooled C7 and C8 segments), at 35d (n=3 for sham and n=5 for SCI), 3.5 months (n=3 for sham and n=5 for SCI) and 9 months after SCI. (n=3 for sham and n=5 for SCI; p<0.05. (Mean +/− SD).
