Overexpression of miR-29a or miR-199B promotes neurological function recovery in rats with SCI. a miR-29a and miR-199B expression in the gray matter in the injury sites determined by RT-qPCR. b NF-200 expression in the gray matter 2–3 mm posterior to the injury sites using immunofluorescence staining. c Protein levels of NF-200 and synaptophysin in the gray matter 2–3 mm posterior to the injury sites detected by western blot analysis. d The weekly locomotor function of rats evaluated using the BBB rating scale. e Coordination of rat hindlimbs measured by a ladder-climbing test. N = 8. Data were presented as mean ± SD from at least three independent experiments. Data were compared by one-way or two-way ANOVA. *p < 0.05
