Acupuncture accelerates neural regeneration and synaptophysin production after neural stem cells transplantation in mice

Figure 4 Synaptophysin expression by flow cytometry assay. Hippocampal brain specimens and neural stem cells were inoculated in the Transwell co-culture system. On the 4^th, 7^th, and 10^th d, flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of synaptophysin-positive cells. A: Synaptophysin expression; B: Proportion of cells with synaptophysin expression. ^aP < 0.05 when compared to senescence-accelerated mouse resistant 1 control group, ^bP < 0.05 when compared to senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) control group, ^cP < 0.05 when compared to SAMP8 sham operation group, ^dP < 0.05 when compared to SAMP8 neural stem cells transplantation with non-acupoint group. RC: Senescence-accelerated mouse resistant 1 control group; PC: Senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 control group; PS: Senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 sham operation group; PT: Senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 neural stem cells transplantation group; PTA: Senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 neural stem cells transplantation with acupuncture group; PTN: Senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 neural stem cells transplantation with non-acupoint group.
