Figure 3. Relative changes of mRNA expression of NT post-transection in spinal cord rostral to the lesion (including the transection site), the first 10 mm caudal to the transection, and further caudal tissue.

Figure 3

The time course of relative changes of mRNA expression in spinal cord after injury was determined by quantitative real-time RT–PCR. The level of NT mRNA expression was calculated after normalizing against the GADPH mRNA level in each sample and is presented as the fold-difference in the level of NT mRNA expression after transection compared with the untransected control sample, which was assigned a value of 1. Significantly different: * rostral vs 10 mm caudal 2 weeks - P < 0.001; * rostral vs caudal 2 weeks - P < 0.001; * rostral vs 10 mm caudal 1 month - P < 0.001; ** rostral vs caudal 1 month - P <0.05; non-significantly (ns) different: 10 mm caudal vs caudal - P > 0.05.
