P2Y6 Receptor-Mediated Spinal Microglial Activation in Neuropathic Pain

Figure 4

The JAK/STAT signaling pathway was activated in CCI model rats. The mRNA levels of JAK2 (a) and STAT3 (b) were shown with mean ± SEM of IOD of JAK2/β-actin and STAT3/β-actin in all rats, ; the phosphorylated JAK2 (p-JAK2) (c) and STAT3 (p-STAT3) (d) levels were shown by the western blot and quantified by mean ± SEM of IOD of p-JAK2/β-actin and p-STAT3/β-actin in all rats, , respectively. S: sham-operated rats; S: CCI rats; M: CCI rats treated with MRS2578; U: CCI rats treated with UDP. Comparisons of JAK2/STAT3 proteins and mRNA among four groups were analyzed with two-way ANOVA followed by Holm–Sidak post hoc analysis (, vs the sham group; , vs the CCI group).
