Post-UTI chronic pain is associated with MCP1 induction. MCP-RFP/CCR2-GFP mice were instilled with PBS or infected with E. coli strain NU14, SΦ874 or SΦ874/pDgal. Isolated sacral DRGs of saline-instilled mice have low RFP and GFP expression. GFP expression was marked in DRG cell bodies of mice infected with either NU14 or SΦ874/pDgal (arrowheads). DRGs of SΦ874-infected mice expressed RFP in fibers (arrow) colocalized with neuronal cell bodies expressing GFP (yellow, arrowhead).
