a Pro-inflammatory cytokines in spinal samples were analyzed using the Bio-Plex system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) 24 h after SCI. Different colors indicate the protein levels from low (blue) to high (red) representing the fold change. b Protein levels of IL-17, IL-1α, IL-6, G-CSF, MCP-1, and MIP-1β were significantly decreased in the MSN-FC@ARC-G-treated group compared with the other three groups (n = 6 mice per group). One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons tests; Mean ± SEM; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001
