Article Title: Increase and regulation of synovial calcitonin gene-related peptide expression in patients with painful knee osteoarthritis
doi: 10.2147/JPR.S135939
Figure Lengend Snippet: CGRP immunolocalization and mRNA expression in synovial tissue. Notes: Synovial tissue stained with ( A ) DAPI (nuclei), ( B ) CD14 or ( C ) CGRP. ( D ) Merged image. ( E ) High-magnification merged image of ( D ). Scale bars =100 μm. ( F ) Real-time PCR analysis of CGRP expression in non-cultured CD14− and CD14+ fractions. All data are presented as mean ± standard error (n=5). * p <0.05. Abbreviations: CGRP, calcitonin gene-related peptide; DAPI, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; PCR, polymerase chain reaction.
Article Snippet: The sections were then treated for 6 h at 4°C with rabbit polyclonal primary antibody against CD14 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and mouse monoclonal primary antibody against CGRP (Abcam).
