mRNA expression of neuropeptides, inflammatory and injury markers in SNT mice L5 DRG with treatment.

<p>ATF3 (<b>A</b>), NPY (<b>B</b>), IL-6 (<b>C</b>) and CGRP (<b>D</b>) mRNA expression were measured on day 3, 7 and 14 after SNT. The data are normalized to GAPDH. Gray bars - naïve DRG (on day −2); white bars - LV-GFP group; black bars - LV-TNF-shRNA3 group (n = 6–8 per group). Bars show means ± S.E. *<i>p</i><0.05, **<i>p</i><0.01, ^#<i>p</i><0.05 compared with naïve, ^##<i>p</i><0.01 compared with naïve. N.S. means “not significant”.
