Nav1.8 expression is elevated in Townes HbSS DRG and is ETA receptor-dependent. (A) Expression of Scn10a mRNA (encoding Nav1.8) and Scn11a mRNA (encoding Nav1.9) in the L3-L4 DRG from HbAA mice and HbSS mice. n=3 mice/genotype. *P<0.05 vs. the corresponding HbAA mice. (B) Effect of hindpaw injection of ABT-627 or vehicle on expression of Nav1.8 protein in the L3-L4 DRG from HbAA mice and HbSS mice. Left: representative Western blots. Right: a summary of densitometric analysis. n=3 mice/group. *P<0.05 vs. the vehicle-treated HbAA mice. (C) Number of Nav1.8-labeled neurons in the L4 DRG from HbAA mice and HbSS mice. Left: representative immunostaining images. Right: a summary of statistical analysis of the number of Nav1.8-labeled neurons. Scale bar: 50 μm. n = 3 mice/genotype. **P<0.01 vs. the HbAA mice.
