Transplanted MSC tracking. The levels of GFP mRNA were measured by RT-qPCR 24 h, 1 and 3 weeks after MSC treatment. MSC were obtained from GFP transgenic C57Bl/6 mice. Bars show GFP mRNA expression on the dorsal root ganglion (DRG), sciatic nerve, spinal cord, spleen, and lung of transplanted neuropathic mice. Data are expressed as means ± SEM; n = 5 per group for each timepoint. *Statistical significance compared to the remaining groups at the same timepoint (p < 0.005). ^#Statistical significance compared to the DRG, sciatic nerve, and spinal cord groups at the same timepoint (p < 0.005). One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test
