Behavioral tests after intracerebral (IC) transplantation or intravenous (IV) injection of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hUC-MSCs) in middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) rats. (A) Schematic of experimental designs. (B) Rotarod tests in four study groups for 8 weeks after treatment. (C) Stepping test for 8 weeks. (D) mNSS test for 8 weeks. (E) Behavioral recovery rates for three behavioral tests. The recovery rate is defined as the percentage of the final score (Week 8) to the baseline score (Day 0). Cell transplantation (“TP”) performed 1 week after MCAo induction. All data expressed as mean ± SEM values. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.001 (IV saline group vs. IC hUC-MSC group); #p < 0.05; ##p < 0.001 (IC saline group vs. IC hUC-MSC group); $p < 0.05; $$p < 0.001 (IV hUC-MSC group vs. IC hUC-MSC group) by mixed ANOVA.
