DM aggravates microvessels loss and decreases pericyte coverage after SCI. (A,B) Immunofluorescence staining of CD31 and quantification of the level of CD31 positive areas in each group, n = 4. Scale bar = 50 μm. (C,D) Western blot and quantification of PDGFR-β in each group, n = 6. (E) Immunofluorescence staining of PDGFR-β in each group, n = 4. Scale bar = 10 μm. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs sham group, #p < 0.05 vs SCI group.
