These results suggest that a single injection of duloxetine suppressed mechanical hyperalgesia and may influence the expression of Iba1 in the microglia of the ipsilateral dorsal horn in the MIA-induced hip OA.
Cutaneous and muscle inflammation induced no change in Iba-1 expression in the dorsal horn.In spite of a marked time-dependent variation in protein expression, mechanical allodynia was present at any time of all the models investigated.
Intrathecal MaR1 significantly attenuated mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia from day 5 to day 7 post-SNL, which was associated with decreased spinal levels of glial markers, GFAP and IBA1.
We found that not only the ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba-1)-positive microglia in the ipsilateral spinal cord but also mechanical allodynia was significantly inhibited.
The results showed that SNI produced mechanical allodynia and depressive-like behaviors, and also increased the expressions of microglia markers (Iba1, CD11b) and M1 markers (CD68, iNOS, IL-1β, TNF-α, and 8-OH-dG) in the prefrontal cortex.
