Fig. 2: EEF1A2 overexpression inhibited SCI progression in rats.

A expression of EEF1A2 in spinal cord tissues detected by Western blot; (B) locomotor ability detected by BBB locomotor rating scale; (C) neuronal function detected by inclined plane test; (D) pathological conditions of spinal cord assessed by HE staining; (E) apoptosis of spinal cord tissues detected by TUNEL staining; (F) expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 detected by ELISA. Data were expressed as mean ± SD and analyzed using independent t test, N = 5. * vs SCI + oe-NC group, p < 0.05.
