Intrathecal injection of SIRT2 decreases lipid peroxidation in the spinal cord of SNI rats. (A) Changes to NRF2 expression in the spinal cord after an intrathecal injection of Ad-SIRT2 or Ad-control. The rats in the sham operation group were used as controls. Changes to MDA (B) and SOD (C) expression in the spinal cord after an intrathecal injection of Ad-SIRT2 or Ad-control. The rats in the sham operation were used as the control group. Values are expressed as the mean ± SE (n = 5 per group). *p-values of <0.05 and **p-values of <0.01 for comparisons with sham rats or baseline values of the SNI rats (day 0); #p-values of <0.01 and ##p-values of <0.01 for comparisons with SNI or Ad-control rats. SNI, spared nerve injury; SIRT2, sirtuin 2; NRF2, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2; MDA, malondialdehyde; SOD, antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase.
