Effects of hiNPC on sensory function following T3SCI. (a) Hindpaw tactile allodynia was studied from 8 to 16 weeks post-T3SCI. (n.s., by two-way repeated measures ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc analysis mean ± SEM; n = 4–6 rats per group). (b) Heat map of differentially abundant transcripts by RNA-Seq in L5 DRGs after T3SCI, with and without grafted hiNPC. Increased expression is shown in red and reduced expression is shown in blue. RNA-Seq transcripts and experimental groups are arranged by unsupervised hierarchical clustering. Genes in bold are of potential interest for future pain related studies. (c) Changes in expression of KCNN1 and VIP in L5 DRGs at 8 and 16 weeks post-T3SCI (*P < 0.05 by Students t-test, mean ± SEM; n = 2–3). (d) Forepaw tactile withdrawal thresholds from 8–16 weeks (n.s., two-way repeated measures ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc analysis, mean ± SEM; n = 4–6 rats per group).
