Purpose: The aim of the present study was to further elucidate the role of JAK2/STAT3-CAV-1-NR2B on painful diabetic neuropathy.
Methods: In vivo, the mechanical withdrawal threshold and thermal withdrawal latency were measured to evaluate neuropathic pain behaviors (n= 8), while western blot (n= 5) and an immunofluorescence double staining experiment (n= 6) were performed to understand the molecular mechanism. In vitro, the individual culture of BV2 mouse microglia cell lines, the co-culture of BV2 mouse microglia cell lines and PC12 rat neuron cell lines, and western blot analysis were performed to understand the molecular mechanism between microglia and neurons.

Objective: To study the relationship between microglia polarization in the spinal dorsal horn and type 2 diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP). And explore the mechanism of RvD1 alleviating type 2 diabetic neuropathic pain.
Methods: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rats came from the male SD rats which were fed by high-fat and high-sucrose diet and given intraperitoneal streptozotocin(STZ), then detected fa sting blood glucose level, the mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL), which was to prepare the type 2 DNP model rats.
