Activation of immune/glial cells and cytokine expression in the DRGs and spinal cord after peripheral nerve injury in the absence of IL-27. Real-time PCR analysis of the expression of glial markers and pro-inflammatory cytokines relative to Gapdh at days 7, 10, and 14 after SNI or Sham surgery in WT and IL-27−/− mice: (A) Aif1, (B) Gfap, (C) Tnf, and (D) Il1b expressions in DRGs, (E) Aif1, (F) Gfap, (G) Tnf, and (H) Il1b expressions in spinal cord (n = 7). Data are presented as means ± S.E.M. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-test.
