STS inhibits BSCB permeability after SCI. (a) Photographs of whole spinal cords demonstrating Evans Blue dye extravasation into the spinal cord 7 days after injury for sham, SCI, and STS groups. (b) Immunofluorescence labeling of Evans Blue dye extravasation was analyzed in the sham, SCI, and STS groups. (c) Western blotting was used to measure protein expression of ZO-1. Data are presented as the mean ± S.D. ^∗P < 0.05 vs. the control group; ^#P < 0.05 vs. the SCI group (n = 6). Scale bar = 200 μm.
