Attenuation of TRPV1 and TRPV4 Expression and Function in Mouse Inflammatory Pain Models Using Electroacupuncture

Figure 8

TRPV1 and TRPV4 protein levels. DRG (dorsal root ganglion) lysates underwent immunoreactions with specific TRPV1 (a and b) and TRPV4 (c and d) antibodies. TRPV1 and TRPV4 increased substantially after carra (carrageenan) or CFA (complete Freund’s adjuvant) injection as compared with the saline-injected group (Con). TRPV1 and TRPV4 protein levels were attenuated by electroacupuncture (EA) at the ST36 acupoint as compared with the carra- and CFA-induced groups.
