Expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines after muscovite injection.

(A) IL-6, (B) IL-1β, and (C) TNF-α were detected by western blot assay in the spinal cord tissue. (D) ATF-3 was detected in the sciatic nerve. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 3/group). **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, vs. sham group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001, vs. PSNL group. n = 3/group (one-way analysis of variance followed by the Student-Newman-Keuls test). ATF-3: Activating transcription factor 3; HL: hindlimb (BL25); IL-6 interleukin-6; IL-1β: interleukin-1beta; LB: lumbar (GB34); PSNL: partial sciatic nerve ligation; TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor-alpha.
