Fasudil Promotes BMSC Migration via Activating the MAPK Signaling Pathway and Application in a Model of Spinal Cord Injury

Figure 6

FAS promotes BMSC migration in vitro via activation of the MAPK signaling pathway. BMSCs were treated with FAS in the presence of MAPK inhibitors, and then, we determine the role of the MAPK signaling pathway in FAS-induced migration by using scratch wound healing assay and Transwell migration assay. (a) Phase contrast images were captured at 0, 12, and 24 h after the scratch. (b) Phase contrast images of migrated cells taken 24 h later. (c) Quantified data from the experiment shown in (a). (d) Data quantified from the experiment shown in (b). The means ± standard deviation of three independent experiments are shown. , versus FAS group.
