Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Experimental protocol for CCI or Sham surgery, behavioral test, injection of curcumin and collection of bilateral spinal cord in the Sham+DMSO group, the CCI+DMSO group and the CCI+Cur group. (B, D) Representative images showed WB analysis of p35 expression in ipsilateral and contralateral spinal cord. (C, E) Results showed the effects of i.p. injection of curcumin on the p35 expression in the ipsilateral and contralateral spinal cord. (F, H) Representative images showed WB analysis of CDK5 expression in ipsilateral and contralateral spinal cord. (G, I) Results showed the effects of i.p. injection of curcumin on the CDK5 expression in the ipsilateral and contralateral spinal cord. (J) Experimental protocol for CCI or Sham surgery, behavioral test, injection of curcumin and collection of bilateral spinal cord in the CCI+DMSO group, the CCI+Cur30 group, the CCI+Cur100 group and the CCI+Cur300 group. (K, M) Representative images showed WB analysis of p35 expression in ipsilateral and contralateral spinal cord. (L, N) Results showed the effects of i.p. injection of curcumin with different doses on the p35 expression in the ipsilateral and contralateral spinal cord. (O, Q) Representative images showed WB analysis of CDK5 expression in ipsilateral and contralateral spinal cord. (P, R) Results showed the effects of i.p. injection of curcumin with different doses on the CDK5 expression in the ipsilateral and contralateral spinal cord. **** P < 0.0001, ** P < 0.01, * P < 0.05, n=6/group ; CCI: chronic compression injury; Cur: curcumin; WB: western blotting; i.p.: intraperitoneal injection; CDK5: Cyclin-dependent kinase 5
