Figure Lengend Snippet: Inflammatory infiltrates in CNS of EAE mice was effectively alleviated by VCAM-1 − and VCAM-1 + hUC-MSCs infusion a Representative H&E staining showed the inflammatory infiltrates in the spinal cord of mice in the indicated groups (C, E, U, V). Scale bar = 20 μm. b Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining showed the content of CD45 + leukocytes and CD68 + macrophages in the spinal cord of mice in the aforementioned groups. Scale bar = 20 μm. c IHC staining showed the content of CD45 + leukocytes and CD68 + macrophages in the brain of mice in the aforementioned groups. Scale bar = 20 μm. d – e Statistical analysis of CD45 + area and CD68 + area in the spinal cord (d) and brain ( e ) of mice in the aforementioned groups. f – g qRT-PCR analysis showed the mRNA expression of proinflammatory factors (Ifn-γ, Tnf-α, Il-6, Il-1β) in spinal cord ( f ) and brain ( g ) of mice in the aforementioned groups. Data were shown as mean ± SEM (n = 3). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001; ns, not significant
Article Snippet: The expression of neural and inflammatory biomarkers was detected by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining (Zsbio, Beijing, China) with the indicated antibodies (Iba, Gfap, CD45, CD68, Olig2).
