Figure 4

Distribution and quantification of the DPCs in the spinal cord at 7 weeks after SCI and transplantation. Fluorescence photomicrographs were GFP-immunostained sagittal sections of the spinal cords of the SCI/DPC-S (a) and SCI/DPC-FS group (b), at 7 weeks after transplantation, respectively: The GFP positive cells (green) were indicated by arrows. Scale bar 50 μm. (c) The number of the GFP-positive cells in the spinal cord at 7 weeks after DPCs transplantation: The values were expressed as means ± SE indicated by horizontal bars. Significant difference between the two groups was determined by Student’s t-test. *p < 0.05, n = 8. Note that the FGF2 priming increased in the number of GFP-positive cells in the spinal cord of SCI at 7 weeks after transplantation.
