Spinal ERK1/2 phosphorylation (pERK) expression at day 28 after spinal cord injury (SCI) in wild type (WT) and sigma-1 receptor (σ1R) knockout (KO) mice. Quantification and representative immunoblots of total ERK, pERK and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Protein expressions were normalized to GAPDH and data is presented as a percentage respect to WT naïve or KO naïve mice (mean ± standard error of the mean; n = 5–6). a–b: groups not sharing a letter are significantly different, p < 0.05; #significant differences vs. naïve (p < 0.05). σ1R KO mice subjected to a spinal cord contusion did not show significant upregulation of pERK in contrast to WT SCI mice. Full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Figure S1.
