SNI induces microglial proliferation in the spinal cord. (A) Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) staining in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord two days after SNI. There is a dramatic increase in number of BrdU-positive profiles in the dorsal horn ipsilateral to nerve injury. Scale bar, 200 μm. (B-D) Enlargement of the ipsilateral medial dorsal horn (square indicated in A) showing co-localization of BrdU with the microglial marker Iba1. Scale bars, 50 μm.
