BDNF is upregulated in P2RX4 neurons 24 h after peripheral inflammation. BDNF expression was analyzed in BDNF-HA mice in which a HA epitope is added at the carboxyl terminus of BDNF. (A) In DRG sections of BDNFHA/HA mice, HA-immunofluorescence was detected in control conditions (left panel) and the number of labeled neurons increases 24 h after CFA injection (right panel). Scale bar 100 µm. (B) Co-immunostaining of βgal and BDNF in control and 24 h after CFA injection in DRG sections. βgal is expressed in a subset of BDNF-positive neurons. Scale bar 50 µm. (C) Representative pictures of Isolectin B4 (IB4) and HA staining in the spinal cord in control and CFA-conditions. Note the increase of BDNF staining in lamina I in CFA conditions and the absence of co-localization of the two markers. Scale bar 50 µm.
