Figure 1 Exogenous BMP4-induced allodynia, microglial activation and polarization. (A) PWT in rats after intrathecal BMP4 application showed a significant effect on time: F (4.143, 66.29) = 16.09, P<0.01, left; F (3.960, 63.35) = 12.67, P<0.01, right, intrathecal application: F (1, 16) = 161.3, P<0.01, left; F (1, 16) = 160.5, P<0.01, right and interaction: F (7, 112) = 11.76, P<0.01, left; F (7, 112) = 5.653, P<0.01, right. Compared with the Sham group, rats in the BMP4 group developed a significant decrease in bilateral PWT for the whole first week, P<0.01, n=9 at each time point for both groups. (B) Representative Western blotting showed a sustained increase of CD11b (P<0.01) and CD16 (P<0.01) expressions for the whole 1st week in the BMP4 group compared with the Sham group. Meanwhile, ARG-1 levels increased at day 1 (P<0.01) and day 4 (P<0.01), then fell below the levels of the Sham group (P<0.01). n=3 for each column. (C and D) Double-immunofluorescence further detected that compared with the Sham group (P7), CD11b expression was elevated in the dorsal horn of spinal cord after BMP4 treatment. Moreover, expressions of CD16 and ARG-1 showed similar pattern with Western blotting results, which were both mainly accumulated with CD11b+ cells. n=3 for each column. Two-way ANOVA, followed by a Bonferroni test (A) and one-way ANOVA, followed by Sidak’s multiple comparisons test (B–D) were performed to analyze the statistical differences. *Represented P<0.05 and **Represented P<0.01 compared with the Sham group.
