The expression of the acetylcholine-related molecules and their axonal transportation are upregulated in motor neurons in the chronic phase of SCI. a mRNA expression of acetylcholine-related molecules in lumbar motor neurons isolated by LMD in the Naive and Tx3m group (n = 8 mice per group). b Immunohistochemistry for choline acetyltransferase in the lumbar motor neurons stained with ChAT (red), NeuN (green), and Hoechst (blue). Significantly larger number of ChAT-positive boutons are observed in the Tx3m group compared to the Naive group. *P < 0.05, n.s. = not significant (P > 0.05), Wilcoxon rank sum test (a). Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. Scale bars: 100 μm (b, left two panels); 20 μm (b, right two panels)
