Downregulation of α-Syn after SCI can ameliorate pathological findings in injured spinal cord tissue. a Representative images showing LFB staining after SCI. Scale bar = 1 mm. b Representative images showing HE staining after SCI. Scale bar = 1 mm. c Quantitative analysis of the results in panel a. All data are presented as the mean ± SD, n = 5. For staining that was performed 2 mm from both ends in the SCI+KD group and the SCI group, p < 0.05; for staining that was performed at the centre of the SCI area in the SCI+KD group, p < 0.001 compared with that in the SCI group. One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons test were used to analyse differences among groups
