Figure 4. — SNL-induced changes in P2X3R expression in ipsilateral L4 and L5 DRG were altered by EA stimulation. (a) Examples of P2X3R expressions in different rat groups. (b) EA-induced changes in P2X3R protein expression in L4 DRGs. Following SNL+ s-EA stimulation, P2X3R expression was 1.4 times (= 1.1/0.77) higher than that in control rats. The expression was retuned close to control level (0.7/0.77 = 0.9) after EA stimulation. (c) EA-induced changes P2X3R protein expressions in L5 DRGs. The expression of P2X3R was much reduced after SNL+s-EA treatment (0.2/0.97 = 0.21) or after SNL+EA treatment (0.16/0.97 = 0.17). (n = 6 for each rat group, *P < 0.01). DRG: dorsal root ganglion; EA: electroacupuncture; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
