Figure 3

Expression of MeCP2, DNMTs and HDACs increases within the dorsal horn 7 days following CFA injection in the ankle joint but decreases 7 days following SNI surgery. The expression of MeCP2, downstream targets, DNMTs and HDACs was quantified by RT-qPCR. Y axis represents mRNA expression as a percentage of control (sham animals). Data show mean ± SEM. *: P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.01 sham vs contra; # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01 and ###: P < 0.001 sham vs ipsi; $ P < 0.05 ipsi vs contra. CFA: N = 5 in each group and SNI: N = 7 in each group.
