Figure 5

Western immunoblot illustrating TASM-ligation-induced upregulation of NMDA receptors and glial markers. The dorsal Vc-C1 was punched out at various time points and total proteins isolated. Beta-actin was used as a loading control. An example of the blot is shown on top and the relative protein levels are shown in the bottom histogram. Note the increased levels of P-NR1, NR1 protein, GFAP and CD11b in TL rats at 3 d, 2w and 8w. Sham rats only showed the increases at 3 d after the procedure. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01, vs. naive rats. #, p < 0.05; ##, p < 0.01, vs. sh-2w. N = 3-4 for each time point. Error bars represent S.E.M.
