Fig. 6From: SDF1–CXCR4 signaling contributes to persistent pain and hypersensitivity via regulating excitability of primary nociceptive neurons: involvement of ERK-dependent Nav1.8 up-regulationEffects of intrathecal administration of an ERK inhibitor, U0126, on BV-induced persistent spontaneous nociception and mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia. a Curve graphs showing the effect of U0126 on the persistent spontaneous nociception evaluated by recording the spontaneous paw flinches at each 5 min interval for 1 h immediately after intraplantar BV injection. b Column graphs showing the effect of U0126 on the mean total numbers of paw flinches averaged from the 1 h period intraplantar BV injection. c, d Exhibiting the effects of U0126 on the PWMT and PWTL measured in bilateral hindpaws of BV-treated rats. PWMT paw withdrawal mechanical threshold, PWTL paw withdrawal thermal latency; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, n = 6 for each groupBack to article page
