Intrathecal (i.t.) injection of Fasudil or AMD3100 attenuates TCI-induced upregulation of p-ROCK2, p-RhoA, and CXCR4 expressions (a and d). (a and c) Representative bands and (b and d) quantitative data. Intrathecal injection of Fasudil attenuates TCI-induced upregulation of p-ROCK2 expression, but not TCI-induced upregulation of p-RhoA and CXCR4. AMD3100 attenuates the TCI-induced upregulation of p-ROCK2, p-RhoA, and CXCR4 expressions. Western blot analysis showing the inhibitory effect of Fasudil and AMD3100 on TCI-induced overexpressions of p-ROCK2, p-RhoA, and CXCR4 on day 7 after TCI. Fasudil (20 μg/10 μL), AMD3100 (5 μg/10 μL), or PBS (10 μL) was i.t. administered once daily on days 5, 6, and 7 (a and b) after TCI. L4 to L6 spinal tissues were collected 12 h after the last injection. *P < 0.05 vs sham group; **P <0.01 versus sham group; #P <0.05,##P <0.01 versus TCI group; n = 4 for each group. TCI: tumor cell implantation; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; CXCR4: chemokine C–X–C motif receptor 4.
