Figure 1: Outline of workflow for TRAP sequencing to reveal sex differences in nociceptor translatomes.
A, eGFP-L10a protein is expressed in Nav1.8-positive nociceptors. B, Schematic representation of the methodology shows dissection of all DRGs (cervical, thoracic and lumbar) from Nav1.8cre/Rosa26fsTRAP mice followed by isolation of total RNA (INPUT), and mRNA-bound to the ribosome (IP) using anti-eGFP-coated beads; Samples were sequenced and processed for downstream analysis of differentially expressed genes as shown.
