Reduced α-Syn levels significantly increase Arg1 expression in microglia/macrophages. A Representative images showing Iba1+/Arg1+ IF staining after SCI (a, e, and i show microglia (Iba1); b, f, and j show iNOS; and c, j, and k show cell nuclei (DAPI)). Scale bar = 100 μm. B Quantitative analysis of the results in panel B, n = 5. C, D Relative mRNA expression levels of CD206 and IL-10 in all groups, as detected by qRT-PCR. All data are presented as the mean ± SD, n = 5. One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons test were used to analyse differences among groups
