Fig. 6. Western blot analysis. Protein expressions at 8 weeks after transplantation were evaluated by western blotting. Overexpression markers, heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and green fluorescent protein (GFP); inflammatory markers, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), cycloogygenase 2 (COX2), phosphorylated-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3), and GALC; neuronal markers, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), β3-tubulin, NF-M, and neuronal nuclear antigen (NeuN). Data presented as means ± SE of three independent experiments. The graph and bars depict means ± SE of four dogs per group, as determined by observed densitometry relative to β-actin (*p < 0.05, †p < 0.001).
