Rosiglitazone Alleviates Mechanical Allodynia of Rats with Bone Cancer Pain through the Activation of PPAR-γ to Inhibit the NF-κB/NLRP3 Inflammatory Axis in Spinal Cord Neurons

Figure 2

Effect of rosiglitazone on the growth of tumor cells and the effect of repeated intrathecal administration of rosiglitazone determined through the rotarod test. (a) Compared with the control group, rosiglitazone significantly inhibited the viability of Walker 256 cells at 3 h ( vs. controls; two-way repeated measures ANOVA (a)), with no significant difference at 6 h ( vs. controls; two-way repeated measures ANOVA (a)). (b) Compared with vehicle treatment bone cancer pain (BCP) group, intrathecal injection of rosiglitazone (50, 100, and 200 μg) for 5 days did not affect the motor performance of rats with BCP ( vs. vehicle control group; two-way repeated measures ANOVA (b)). The results are expressed as the percentage of each rat’s baseline value. BL: baseline; Con: control; RG: rosiglitazone.
