Local SHED transplantation suppresses upregulation of TRPV1-positive cells in CCI-ION rats. TRPV1-positive cells in the TG (a) and trigeminal nerve (e) of sham rats. TRPV1-positive cells in the TG (b) and trigeminal nerve (f) of CCI-ION rats without SHED injection. TRPV1-positive cells in the TG (c) and trigeminal nerve (g) of CCI-ION rats with local SHED administration ( cells, 0.2 mL). (d) Quantification of TRPV1-positive cells in the TG. (h) Quantification of TRPV1 staining in the trigeminal nerve. Scale . vs. sham, # vs. CCI-ION rats without SHED transplantation. All data are expressed as the ( rats in each group).
