Water Treadmill Training Ameliorates Neurite Outgrowth Inhibition Associated with NGR/RhoA/ROCK by Inhibiting Astrocyte Activation following Spinal Cord Injury

Figure 3

TT promoted axonal outgrowth after SCI. (a)–(c) Double staining of spinal cord sections in each group of rats for GAP43 (green)/NF200 (red)/DAPI (blue). Scale bars are 500 μm (a, b) and 50 μm (c). (d) Quantification of GAP43⁺ cells; columns represent the (). (e) Western blots and (f, g) quantification of GAP43 and NF200 proteins in each group; columns represent the (). (h, i) Representative RT–qPCR analysis of GAP43 and NF200 mRNA expression at 7 d and 14 d in the different groups; columns represent the , . ^& for the M14 group versus the M7 group, ^$ for the TM14 group versus the M14 group, ^% for the TM14 group versus the TM7 group.
