Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Representative 20x images of mouse and human DRG labeled with RNAscope in situ hybridization for CGRP (green) and P2X3R (blue) mRNA. Mouse and human DRG were costained for NF200 protein and DAPI (cyan), respectively. B) The percentage of CGRP-positive cells that co-expressed P2X3R was significantly increased in human DRG compared to mouse. C) The percentage of P2X3R-positive cells that co-expressed CGRP was significantly increased in human DRG compared to mouse. D) The percentage of P2X3R-CGRP co-expressing neurons was significantly increased in human DRG compared to mouse. This was due to a significant decrease in the percentage of neurons expressing P2X3R-alone, but not CGRP-alone, in human. E) Histogram showing the diameter of CGRP, P2X3R, and CGRP-P2X3R co-expressing neurons in mouse and human DRG. F) Distribution of each neuronal population in mouse and human DRG. G) The distribution of NF200, CGRP, and P2X3R populations in mouse DRG. Two way ANOVA with Bonferroni ****p<0.0001.
