Inhibition of microglia reduced pain behavior in CCI mice. (A) PWMT results after 10 days of minocycline treatment (N = 8). (B) PWTL results after 10 days of minocycline treatment (N = 8). (C) Immunofluorescence results of spinal dorsal horn microglia after treatment with minocycline (N = 6). (D) Quantitative results of IBA1 after treatment (N = 6). (E) Picture of inflammatory factor after treatment with minocycline (N = 6). (F) Quantification of inflammatory factors IL-1β and IL-6 (N = 6). (G) Immunofluorescence results of perineuronal nets after treatment with minocycline (N = 6). (H) Quantitative results of WFA after treatment (N = 6). (I). Fluorescence and 3D reconstruction of microglia phagocytosis PNNs after treatment with minocycline (N = 6). (J). Volume quantification results of IBA1, CD68 and engulfed WFA (N = 6). #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 and ###P < 0.001 compared with CCI + Vehicle group, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001 compared with CCI + Vehicle group, two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc test was conducted.
