Figure 3

P2X3R expression decreases and P2X7R expression increases with rat age. Western blot analyses of P2X3Rs and P2X7Rs were conducted on the DRG protein samples isolated from P6, P15 and adult rats. P2X3R and P2X7R expressions were expressed in relative intensity with respect to those of adult rats, which was set at 1.0. During postnatal development, the P2X7R expression increased (P6/Adult: 0.42 ± 0.05; P15/adult 0.64 ± 0.06; n = 3-5), while the P2X3R expression decreased (P6/adult: 1.71 ± 0.28; P15/adult: 1.42 ± 0.11; n = 5) (One-way ANOVA, *P < 0.05)
