Figure Lengend Snippet: Dorsal root ganglia: mRNA levels of PKS, neuroinflammatory, epigenetic regulators and effects of PC1 and minocycline treatments. mRNA expression levels (RT-qPCR) of the PKS members (A) PK2, (B) PKR1 and (C) PKR2, proinflammatory cytokines (D) IL-6, (E) IL-1β, and (F) TNF-α, (G) macrophages marker Iba1, (H) satellite glial cell marker GFAP, (I) PPARγ, (J) KDM6A and (K) KDM6B were evaluated in the dorsal root ganglia (after 14 days of pharmacological treatment). Results are normalized to the housekeeping gene GAPDH and expressed as fold over the age-matched CTR group. Data are (A–H) the mean ± SD of 4 to 6 animals/group. Statistical analyses were performed by 1-way ANOVA followed by the Šidák post hoc test. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001 vs age-matched CTR; ◦ P < 0.05, ○○ P < 0.01, ○○○ P < 0.001 vs age-matched FD; + P < 0.05 vs age-matched FD + PC1.
