Liraglutide displayed analgesic effect in MIA mice models of OA. Mice knee joints were intra-articularly (IA) injected with 0.75 mg of MIA or saline on day 1. For the short-term study (a,b), treatments (liraglutide, dexamethasone, or vehicle) were injected IA on day 3 and inflammation pain sensitivity was determined by the von Frey test on day 2 (for randomization), 7, and 10 (n = 15–19 per group). For the long-term study (c), treatments were administered on days 8, 15, and 22, and von Frey tests were performed on day 7 (for randomization), 14, 21, and 28 (n = 9–10 per group). (a) Paw withdrawal threshold was assessed by von Frey filament stimulation on days 2, 7, and 10. (b) The efficacy rate of liraglutide in the MIA short-term study was analyzed using GraphPad Prism 9.0 and the EC50 value was determined at day 10 from the von Frey calculated values. (c) Paw withdrawal threshold was assessed by von Frey filament stimulation on days 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28. Arrows indicate the treatment with IA administration. Statistical analysis: Mean ± SEM. Mann–Whitney test with sequential strategy, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 versus MIA control.
