TRPV1, P = 0.033; SNX25, P = 0.007. h, Confocal microscopy of the DRG stained with anti-TRPV1 antibody in WT and Snx25+/− mice. Scale bar, 100 μm. Right, magnified views of boxed areas in the corresponding left panels. Representative of three independent experiments. Scale bar, 20 μm. i, Confocal microscopy of the DRG of WT and Snx25+/− mice, stained with anti-TrkA antibody (left; scale bar, 100 μm) and quantification of mean TrkA fluorescence intensity (WT, n = 13; Snx25+/−, n = 12 DRG sections from four different mice) (right). P = 0.042. Representative of three independent experiments. DAPI, 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole. j, Fluo-4 Ca2+ imaging of primary DRG neurons from an entire well dissociated from WT and Snx25+/− mice (WT, n = 3; Snx25+/−, n = 3). The arrow indicates the time when capsaicin was added to a well. P values are as follows: 448 s, P = 0.033; 469 s, P = 0.008; 490 s, P = 0.04; 511 s, P = 0.002; 532 s, P = 0.014; 553 s, P = 0.03; 574 s, P = 0.038; 595 s, P = 0.034; 700 s, P = 0.046; 742 s, P = 0.049; 805 s, P = 0.049. ex., excitation; em., emission. k, mRNA expression for pain-related factors in the DRG of WT and Snx25+/− mice (WT, n = 3; Snx25+/−, n = 3). Trpv1, P = 0.026; Scn9a, P = 0.032; Scn10a, P = 0.022. Results are represented as mean ± s.e.m. Statistical significance was calculated using two-tailed Student’s t-test (be, i and j) or two-tailed Welch’s t-test (g,k). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
