Figure 7

Horseradish peroxidase-labeled nerve fibers in the spinal cord visualized by horseradish peroxidase retrograde tracing in each group at 8 weeks after cell transplantation (3,3’-diaminobenzidine, × 200).

(A–C) simple PLGA group, BMSCs + Schwann cells + PLGA group, NgR gene-silenced cells + PLGA group, respectively. At 8 weeks after transplantation, the number of horseradish peroxidase-positive nerve fibers (arrows) was lower in the simple PLGA group than that in the BMSCs + Schwann cells + PLGA group, and it was lower in the BMSCs + Schwann cells + PLGA group than that in the NgR gene-silenced cells + PLGA group.

BMSCs: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells; PLGA: poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolic acid); NgR: Nogo-66 receptor.
