Western blot analysis of phosphorylated extracellular-signal related kinases 1 and 2 (pERK1/2) in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) (C7–8) of rats. Rats were treated with sham acupuncture, manual acupuncture (MA), or electroacupuncture (EA) after intrathecal injection of transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) siRNA (+) or scrambled siRNA (−). A: examples of original Western blotting bands from one rat in each group. B: relative values of pERK1/2 and ERK1/2. Bands indicated by 44 kDa and 42 kDa correspond to pERK1 and ERK1 and pERK2 and ERK2, respectively. *P < 0.05 vs. sham acupuncture; #P < 0.05, TRPV1 siRNA vs. scrambled siRNA.
