SPION-mediated magnetic actuation upregulates the expression of adhesion molecules associated with repair phenotypes in Schwann cells. The relative protein expression of N-cadherin and NCAM in different experimental groups was detected by WB at 3 (a), 7 (b), 14 (c), and 21 days (d) after crush injury of the sciatic nerve to evaluate the effect of different treatments on the expression of repair phenotype-related adhesion molecules in Schwann cells. Each experiment was carried out in triplicate. The values are represented as the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
