Fig. 2. Effects of ACC infusion of minocycline on pain behaviors.

Fig. 2

a Outline of the experimental procedure for minocycline treatment and behavioral tests. b Representative images of Iba1 immunostaining and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of Iba1+ microglia (gray) in the ACC (n = 8 slices from three mice per group). Scale bars, 30 μm (up), 8 μm (down). c Quantification of cell morphometry of Iba1+ microglia in the ACC. The STZ + Mino mice showed decreased Iba1+ cell numbers, lower overall Iba1+ intensity, increased total process length, and more branch points of microglia compared with STZ + ACSF-treated mice (n = 8 slices from three mice per group). d Pain threshold in STZ-treated mice with ACC infusion of minocycline (Mino) or ACSF for two weeks (n = 5–6 mice per group). Mino, minocycline. Data are shown as means ± SEM. ***P < 0.001; n.s., (not significant). A two-tailed unpaired Student’s t test was used for (c, d)
