Effects of LncRNA BC168687 siRNA on Diabetic Neuropathic Pain Mediated by P2X7 Receptor on SGCs in DRG of Rats

Figure 4

The coexpression quantities of P2X7 and GFAP were increased in the DRG of DNP rats. The coexpression of P2X7 receptor and GFAP in the DNP group was higher than that in the control group, whereas the coexpression value in the DNP + BC168687 si group was lower than that in DNP group. The green signal represents GFAP staining with FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate), and the red signal indicates P2X7 staining with TRITC (tetraethyl rhodamine isothiocyanate). Merge represents the P2X7 and GFAP double staining image. The arrows indicate the positive cells in DRG. Scale bar: 20 μm.
