The Cotransplantation of Olfactory Ensheathing Cells with Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Exerts Antiapoptotic Effects in Adult Rats after Spinal Cord Injury

Figure 5

Cellular apoptosis after spinal cord injury was reduced by OECs and BMSCs (TUNEL staining, 10 × 40). Note: (A) 14 days after transplantation; (B) 28 days after transplantation; (a1, a2) control group; (b1, b2) sham group; (c1, c2) OECs treated group; (d1, d2) BMSCs treated group; (e1, e2) cotransplant treated group. (C) The spinal cord cell apoptosis rate of rats in each group. versus control group; versus sham group; versus OECs treated group; and versus BMSCs treated group.
