Activation of spinal astrocytes but not microglia in the late-phase of prostatitis. a, b Left: images of Iba-1 (a) and GFAP (b) immunostaining showing carrageenan-induced Iba-1 expression in the spinal cord dorsal horn 2 weeks after injection compared with the saline-treated group. Scales, 200 μm in top and bottom panels. Right: quantification of the intensity of Iba-1 and GFAP immunostaining in the carrageenan-treated group and the saline-treated group. *P < 0.05, vs. saline, Student’s t test. n = 4 mice/group. c, d Left: images of Iba-1 (a) and GFAP (b) immunostaining showing carrageenan-induced Iba-1 expression in the spinal cord dorsal horn 5 weeks after injection compared with the saline-treated group. Scales, 200 μm in top and bottom panels. Right: quantification of the intensity of Iba-1 and GFAP immunostaining in the carrageenan-treated group and the saline-treated group. n.s., not significant. *P < 0.05, vs. saline, Student’s t test. n = 4 mice/group. All data are expressed as mean ± S.E.M.
