Article Title: Ultra-low dose naltrexone attenuates chronic morphine-induced gliosis in rats

doi: 10.1186/1744-8069-6-22

Figure Lengend Snippet: The morphine-induced increase in astrocyte and microglial immuno-labelling is caused by cell hypertrophy, not proliferation . Lumbar spinal cord sections were collected from animals administered BrdU (100 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection on days 1, 3, 5, and either intrathecal vehicle (saline; SAL) or morphine (15 μg; MS) once daily for five days by lumbar puncture. Representative photomicrographs acquired by confocal microscopy of spinal cord sections double labelled with 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) and the astrocytic protein GFAP (B, C), the microglial marker Iba1 (E, F) or the neuronal marker MAP2 (H, I). No co-localization of BrdU-positive cells with GFAP or MAP-2-positive cells was observed. However, BrdU co-localized with a small number of Iba1 positive cells (arrow), suggesting a small portion of the newly formed cells were microglia or macrophages. (J). No difference was observed in the number of BrdU-positive cells in the dorsal horn (lamina II-IV) of lumbar spinal cord sections from animals administered chronic intrathecal saline or morphine. Data represent means ± s.e.m. for n = 6 sections per rat from n = 3 per group. Statistical analyses were performed by an un-paired t-test. ns = no significance. Scale bars, 30 μm.

Article Snippet: To identify the phenotype of newly formed cells, sections were double labelled with one of the following antibodies: rabbit anti-GFAP (for astrocytes, 1:2500), rabbit anti-Iba1 polyclonal antibody (ionizing calcium-binding adaptor molecule, for microglia and macrophages, 1:1000; Wako, Richmond, VA), or rabbit anti-MAP-2 polyclonal antibody (microtubule-associated protein 2, for neurons, 1:1000; Chemicon, Temecula, CA).
