Effects of hPPE-hBMSCs on proinflammatory cytokine levels in the spinal cords of rats with bone cancer pain (BCP) were compared by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). After treatment with cell transplantation for 3 d following BCP operation, the spinal cords were homogenized and the IL-1β (a) and IL-6 (b) levels were measured. Normal, the normal group; BCP + saline, the BCP group; BCP + pBABE-hBMSCs, the BCP + pBABE-hBMSC group; BCP + hPPE-hBMSCs, the BCP + hPPE-hBMSC group. Data were expressed as the mean ± SEM. n = 6. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way analysis of variance followed by the least-significant difference or Dunnett T3 test. P < 0.01 versus the normal group; #P < 0.05 versus the BCP + saline group. hPPE, human proenkephalin; pBABE, a retroviral vector; hBMSCs, human bone marrow stem cells.
