Figure 6From: p300 exerts an epigenetic role in chronic neuropathic pain through its acetyltransferase activity in rats following chronic constriction injury (CCI) The effects of intrathecal injections of p300 shRNA and p300 acetyltransferase inhibitor on COX-2 expression . A: Expression of COX-2 mRNA in the lumbar spinal cord in all rats. Typical results are shown. B: The mean (±SEM) of IOD of COX-2/β-actin in all rats on mRNA level, n = 5; C: Expression of protein COX-2 in the lumbar spinal cord in all rats. Typical results are shown. D: The mean (±SEM) of IOD of COX-2/β-actin in all rats on protein level, n = 5. S: sham-operated rats; NS: NS-treated CCI rats; NC: LV-NC-treated CCI rats; shp300: LV-shp300-treated CCI rats. C37: C37-treated CCI rats; C646: C646-treated CCI rats. *P < 0.05 vs. sham-operated group; #P < 0.05 vs. NS and NC-treated groups. ΔP < 0.05 vs. C37-treated group.Back to article page
