    Nav1.7 expression in smooth muscle cells of deep dermis arterioles within skin from lateral malleolus of three healthy subjects. Smooth muscle cells (arrowheads) of the arteriole tunica media exhibit robust Nav1.7 (red) immunolabeling (antibody Nav1.7 Y ), which is co-localized with alpha smooth muscle actin (green). Skin samples from 3 healthy subjects (Subject 1: A ; Subject 2: B , C ; Subject 3: D ) display similar patterns of Nav1.7 labeling in the smooth muscle cells of the dermal arterioles. Co-localization of Nav1.7 and alpha smooth muscle actin is yellow in the merged panels. E . Sections incubated without primary antibodies followed by secondary antibodies displayed background levels of immunofluorescence in skin vasculature.

    Nav1.7 expression in smooth muscle cells of deep dermis arterioles within skin from lateral malleolus of three healthy subjects. Smooth muscle cells (arrowheads) of the arteriole tunica media exhibit robust Nav1.7 (red) immunolabeling (antibody Nav1.7 Y ), which is co-localized with alpha smooth muscle actin (green). Skin samples from 3 healthy subjects (Subject 1: A ; Subject 2: B , C ; Subject 3: D ) display similar patterns of Nav1.7 labeling in the smooth muscle cells of the dermal arterioles. Co-localization of Nav1.7 and alpha smooth muscle actin is yellow in the merged panels. E . Sections incubated without primary antibodies followed by secondary antibodies displayed background levels of immunofluorescence in skin vasculature.

    Digital fluorescence images of Nav1.7 (red) and PGP 9.5 (green) immunolabeling (IL) in the epidermis (Ep) and upper dermis (UD) biopsies of normal human palmar glabrous skin ( A , Abcam anti-Nav1.7) and normal human plantar glabrous skin ( B , Alomone anti-Nav1.7). Stratum corneum, sc; stratum granulosum, sg; stratum spinosum (ss); stratum basalis (sb), dermal papilla (dp). Straight arrows indicate epidermal sensory endings, curved arrows indicate small nerves and individual axons or endings in the upper dermis. The areas enclosed in the large rectangles are 2X enlargements of those in the smaller rectangles. Of all the innervation revealed by anti-PGP 9.5, only some express Nav1.7-IL (yellow straight and curved arrows) whereas other only express PGP 9.5-IL (green straight and curved arrows). Aβ-fiber innervation of a Meissner corpuscle (MC) has little if any Nav1.7-IL. Kertinocytes especially in stratum granulosum label for Nav1.7 (arrowheads) which has a more membranous distribution with the Alomone anti-Nav1.7 antibody, but more diffuse labeling with the Abcam anti-Nav1.7 antibody. Scale bar = 100 μm.
