FIGURE 9.

Spared nerve injury spinal explants are enriched in EAAT-1 and EAAT-2. (A) Western blots illustrating the increased NaK ATPase, EAAT-1, EAAT-2 but not glutamine synthetase, Alix, α tubulin or total protein content (Coomassie) contents in eMV from SNI rats as compared to counterparts from sham animals. (B) Quantification of western blot signals confirming the statistical increases observed in (A). Given as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; n.s., non significant. Student’s t-test with Welch correction for unequal variances, sham vs. SNI (n = 3 explants from different animals per condition).
