Western blot examination of the paw and spinal cord tissues was prepared as previously described in [72 (link)]. The following primary antibodies were used (for the purpose of standardization): anti-NF-κB (1:500), anti-Nrf-2 (1:500), anti-HO-1 (1:500), anti-IL-1β (1:500), anti-c-Fos (1:500), anti-βactin (1:500), and β-laminin (1:500) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Heidelberg, Germany) [73 (link)]. Protein expression was quantified via densitometry with Bio-Rad ChemiDocTM XRS+ software (Bio-Rad, Milan, Italy) and normalized with the housekeeping genes β-actin and lamin A/C, as previously reported in [74 (link),75 (link)].
