FIGURE 8

Rapamycin does not alter the neuronal damage after spinal cord injury (SCI). Immunostained sections of the injury epicenter of the spinal cord with NeuN + and SMI312 + are shown in (A). High-magnification images of the NeuN + cells on the ipsilateral and contralateral side are shown in (B). (C) The NeuN + cells were significantly decreased on the ipsilateral side at the injury epicenter in the rapamycin and vehicle groups. (D) Expression of NeuN on the contralateral side at the injury epicenter showed no significant differences among the three groups. WPI, weeks post-injury; Rapa, the rapamycin group; Veh, the vehicle group; Sham, the sham group. Scale bar = 200 μm (A) and 20 μm (B). ∗∗∗P < 0.001, nsP > 0.05. Error bars are mean ± SEM.
