Nrf2 improved efficiency of ADSCs in nerve component restoration and secretion ability of MPG. A S100β (red) immunofluorescence staining of MPG tissues from rats in each experimental group. B Quantitative analysis of immunofluorescence results for S100β. The results revealed that the expression of S100β decreased obviously in the PBS group, and it was ameliorated most obviously in the tBHQ-ADSCs group. C,D Quantitative analysis of BDNF and NGF concentrations in the MPG culture supernatant in each experimental group. Compared with the PBS group, the expressions of BDNF and NGF in the ADSCs, tBHQ and ML385-ADSCs groups increased significantly, especially in the tBHQ-ADSCs group. Each bar depicts the mean ± SD(n = 3). (****P < 0.0001, ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01 and *P < 0.05)
