CD157 overexpression in BMSCs attenuates inflammation and apoptosis of the injured neurons in vivo (1). a Schematic diagram of the spinal cord. b BBB scores of injured rats (n = 6). *p < 0.05, ^&p < 0.05 vs SCI+Mock group; ^####p < 0.001 vs SCI+shRNA group. Representative c Nissl staining images of the spinal cord. The red rectangle showed the injured site. Scale bar, 250 μm. d, f Representative immunofluorescence images of Grp 78 and NF-κB of neurons at the injured site. The white arrows indicate the positive cells. Scale bars, 100 μm. e Statistics of Grp 78 positive rate. n.s., non-significant, ****p < 0.0001 vs SCI group. ^#p < 0.05, ^####p < 0.0001 vs Mock group. g Statistics of NF-κB intranuclear content. *p < 0.05, ****p < 0.0001 vs SCI group. ^#p < 0.05, ^##p < 0.01 vs Mock group
