Comparison of the GFAP-positive areas detected by immunofluorescent staining among the seven groups. Notes: (a) GFAP-positive areas in the normal group; (b) GFAP-positive areas in the sham group; (c) GFAP-positive areas in the SCI group; (d) GFAP-positive areas in the NC group; (e) GFAP-positive areas in the PTC1-RNAi group; (f) GFAP-positive areas in the PTC2-RNAi group; (g) GFAP-positive areas in the PTC1/PTC2-RNAi group; (h) comparison of the percentages of GFAP-positive areas among the seven groups; GFAP, glial fibrillary acidic protein; Gli-1, glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1; NC, negative control; PTC1, Patched 1; PTC2, Patched 2; SCI, spinal cord injury; Shh, sonic hedgehog; *P<0.05 compared with the normal group; #P<0.05 compared with the SCI and NC group.
