Ecto-5′-nucleotidase (CD73) expression was upregulated after SCI in mice. a–b Representative immunoblotting and quantification of CD73 at each time point after SCI or sham surgery. c–d Representative immunohistochemical staining for CD73 and quantification on the third day after SCI or sham surgery. e Relative CD73 mRNA expression assessed by real-time PCR at each time point after SCI or sham surgery. *p < 0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001. Data are shown as the mean ± SD from four independent experiments
