From: Large A-fiber activity is required for microglial proliferation and p38 MAPK activation in the spinal cord: different effects of resiniferatoxin and bupivacaine on spinal microglial changes after spared nerve injury

Figure 5

Bupivacaine but not resiniferatoxin reduces cell proliferation in the spinal cord dorsal horn after SNI. (A-D) BrdU immunostaining in the dorsal horn of control rats (A) and SNI rats receiving vehicle (B), RTX (C), and bupivacaine (Bup, D). (E) Number of BrdU-positive cell profiles in the dorsal horn: Left, effects of RTX on SNI-induced cell proliferation. Right: effects of bupivacaine on SNI-induced cell proliferation *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ns = no significance. Scale bar 200 μm. n = 3-5.
