Expression levels of α2δ2 were observed in damaged spinal cord caused by a rat model of CSM. A The levels of α2δ2 in damaged spinal cords were analyzed at compression 5 weeks, decompression 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, and 28 d by western blot; B The expression of α2δ2 in anterior horn of damaged spinal cord was observed by immunofluorescence (Scale bar = 20 μm). The quantitative analysis of results was analyzed by Image J software. Compared with compression, **P < 0.01; compared with decompression 7 d; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01; compared with decompression 14 d, &&P < 0.01
