Intrathecal injection of small interfering RNA sequences targeting AC1 reduces Adcy1 mRNA in spinal cord and DRG of mice. (A) Significant reduction of Adcy1 mRNA copies present in mice injected with AAV9-ADCY1-shRNA-GFP (Adcy1) vs. AAV9-Scrambl-shRNA-GFP (Scramble; unpaired t-tests, *p < 0.05). No significant changes are seen in Adcy5 (B), Adcy8 (C), or Oprm1 (D) mRNA expression. n = 8–10/group. (E) Protein levels of AC1 collected from spinal cord are lower in AAV9-ADCY1-shRNA-GFP (Adcy1) vs. AAV9-Scrambl-shRNA-GFP injected mice (unpaired t-test, p < 0.0001), n = 4–5/group. Injections were verified by Immunofluorescence analysis in the spinal cord (F), DRG (G), and sciatic nerves (H). Scale bar = 200uM. Data presented as mean ± SEM.
