Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7. Phosphorylated cAMP response element-binding protein (p-CREB) expression in trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (TNC) in all groups at different time points. (A) An example of p-CREB staining by immunohistochemistry at the ipsilateral TNC at post–CFA-injection day 28, scale bar = 100 µm. (B,C) Expression of p-CREB in both sides of TNCs in different groups. In the ipsilateral TNC at post–CFA-injection days 14, 21, and 28 and in the contralateral TNC at post–CFA-injection day 28, the p-CREB expression in the complete Freund’s adjuvant–treated (CFA) group increased compared with that in the Sham group (on the ipsilateral side: day 14 [F(5,48) = 35.179, P < 0.05], day 21 [F(5,48) = 34.179, P < 0.05], day 28 [F(5,48) = 33.789, P < 0.05]; on the contralateral side: day 28 [F(5,48) = 26.885, P < 0.05]), whereas that in the groups treated with ibuprofen and 100 mg/kg ECa 233 (Ibu and 100ECa groups, respectively) significantly decreased compared with that in the CFA group (day 14 on the ipsilateral side: Ibu [F(5,48) = 21.225, P < 0.05], 100ECa [F(5,48) = 25.247, P < 0.05]; day 21 on the ipsilateral side: Ibu [F(5,48) = 22.375, P < 0.05], 100ECa [F(5,48) = 26.027, P < 0.05]; day 28 on the ipsilateral side: Ibu [F(5,48) = 24.335, P < 0.05], 100ECa [F(5,48) = 26.247, P < 0.05]; day 28 on the contralateral side: Ibu [F(5,48) = 26.245, P < 0.05], 100ECa [F(5,48) = 27.161, P < 0.05]). Both 30ECa and 300ECa showed no difference from the CFA group (day 14 on the ipsilateral side: 30ECa [F(5,48) = 40.485, P = 0.207], 300ECa [F(5,48) = 39.532, P = 0.236]; day 21 on the ipsilateral side: 30ECa [F(5,48) = 40.532, P = 0.196], 300ECa [F(5,48) = 39.532, P = 0.179]; day 28 on the ipsilateral side: 30ECa [F(5,48) = 41.485, P = 0.187], 300ECa [F(5,48) = 39.852, P = 0.196]; day 28 on the contralateral side: 30ECa [F(5,48) = 40.495, P = 0.197], 300ECa [F(5,48) = 39.972, P = 0.194]) (mean ± SEM; n = 3/group at each time; *P < 0.05 compared with the Sham group, #P < 0.05 compared with the CFA group, two-way analysis of variance followed by Fisher’s least significant difference post hoc test).
Article Snippet: The TG paraffin sections were stained with neuroinflammatory markers rabbit monoclonal anti-NaV1.7 antibody (AB5390; Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) and rabbit polyclonal anti-CGRP antibody (SC-57053; Santa Cruz Biotech, Dallas, TX, USA), whereas the TNC sections were immunolabeled with a rabbit polyclonal anti-p-CREB antibody (SC-81486; Santa Cruz Biotech, Dallas, TX, USA), rabbit polyclonal anti-CGRP antibody (SC-57053; Santa Cruz Biotech, Dallas, TX, USA), and rabbit polyclonal anti-OX42 antibody (SC-52; Santa Cruz Biotech, Dallas, TX, USA) for the expression of activated microglia.
