Effect of Keap1 silencing on CCI-repressed antioxidant capacity in spinal cord tissues of rats. Rats were intrathecally injected with lentiviral-shNC or lentiviral-shKeap1 for 1 week and then subjected to CCI surgery. (A) Levels of antioxidant genes in the spinal cord were determined via quantitative polymerase chain reaction. (B) Analysis of glutathione levels. (C) A superoxide dismutase assay kit was used to examine SOD activity. (D) Determination of catalase activity. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. Sham group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 vs. CCI+shNC group.
