Fibroblast Growth Factor 13 Facilitates Peripheral Nerve Regeneration through Maintaining Microtubule Stability

Figure 8

FGF13 alleviates cell death in vitro. (a) Live-dead staining was used to identify live (green) and dead (red) cells in the control, myelin, and myelin+FGF13 groups. (b) Quantification of cell viability from (a). (c) Representative immunoblotting images of Bcl-2, Bax, and Cleaved caspase-3 in the control, myelin, and myelin+FGF13 groups. GAPDH expression was used for normalization of protein loading. (d–g) Quantification of protein bands from (c) by densitometric analysis. The values represent the and repeated in triplicate. and vs. the control group; ^## and ^### vs. the myelin group.
