A. The release of oligonucleosomes to the cytosol during the first 24h after trauma was evaluated in cytoplasmic extracts from spinal cords isolated from three groups of rats: (a) sham-and vehicle treated (n=4); (b) SCI+vehicle (n=5); or (c) SCI+Tat-Bcl-xL (n=5). In all measurements we used 1cm-long thoracic segments containing the site of injury, T10. Apoptotic cell death was significantly reduced in Tat-Bcl-xL treated rats in comparison to vehicle-treated rats. Data represent mean ± SD. * p<0.05 compared to sham-vehicle group; † p<0.05 compared to the injury-vehicle treated group; Two way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc correction).
