Repeated intrathecal injection (five times, every 6 h starting on day 12 after nerve injury) of CaCCinh-A01 (10 μg), T16Ainh-A01 (10 μg) or NFA (300 μg), but not vehicle, prevented nerve injury-induced rises in anoctamin-1 mRNA (Additional file 4: Figure S4) and protein (Figure 6) expression in the dorsal spinal cord and DRG on day 14 after nerve injury. The gene discussed is ANO1; the disease is injury.
