Photobiomodulation alleviated the neurotoxic effect of A1 astrocytes on DRG neurons. (A) DRG neurons treated with ACM collected 24 h after different treatments. Con, medium from control resting astrocytes; Con + PBM: medium from resting astrocytes treated with PBM; A1CM, medium from A1 astrocytes; PBM + A1CM, medium from A1 astrocytes treated with PBM. Representative immunofluorescence images of NeuN (red) and β III tubulin (green) in DRG neurons. Scale bar: 100 mm. (B,C) The length of axons in a single neuron and the number of neurons per field were analyzed. Five visual fields from each sample were randomly selected and analyzed. The experiments were independently repeated three times. *p < 0.01; ns, not significant.
