Effect of combined GDAsBMP and hr-decorin transplantation on glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive astrocytes within the contusive spinal cord of rats at 28 days after injury.

Integrated absorbance values (area × average absorbance) of glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive astrocytes in immunofluorescence photographs were measured with Image Pro Plus 6.0 software. aP < 0.05, vs. blank group. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of six rats for each group (two-sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance).

Blank: Spinal cord injury group; Hr-decorin: human recombinant decorin injection group; GDAsBMP: glial-restricted precursor-derived astrocytes induced by bone morphogenetic protein-4 transplantation group; GDAsBMP + Hr-decorin: combined GDAsBMP and hr-decorin transplantation group.
