Figure 3

The Effects of ADE on TRPV1 expression in the DRG. (a) Double immunostaining of TRPV1 (red) and NeuN (green) on transverse sections of ipsilateral L4–L6 DRGs from mice of four groups. Arrow and arrowhead indicate neurons with or without TRPV1 expression, respectively. (b) Quantitative data of TRPV1⁺ neurons of four groups were listed. (c) TRPV1 protein levels were analyzed by western blotting (upper panel, summarized bar graph showing band; lower panel, representative western blot bands). Beta-actin was used as internal control for western blot analysis (fold of con refers the fold change of the TRPV1/beta-actin ratio in each group as compared to control group; , , ; scale bar: 50 μm; n = 3).
