A Study on the Mechanism of Cinobufagin in the Treatment of Paw Cancer Pain by Modulating Local β-Endorphin Expression In Vivo
Figure 6
The representative photomicrographs of the tumor and adjacent tissues μ-OR immunohistochemistry (400x) and effect of Cinobufagin on the tumor and adjacent tissue μ-OR protein expressions in the cancer pain mice. (a) Control group; (b) model group; (c) cinobufagin group (cinobufagin, 10 mL/kg/day, i.p.); (d) cinobufagin + NAL-M group (cinobufagin, 10 mL/kg/day, NAL-M, 20 mg/kg/day i.p.); (e) morphine group (morphine, 8 mg/kg/day, i.p.). (f) Effect of cinobufagin on the tumor and adjacent tissue μ-OR protein expression. Label with red arrowheads represents μ-OR positive expression. Data are shown as the mean ± SD (). #, ## compared to control group; *, ** compared to model group.
