Figure 4From: Disrupted postnatal lung development in heme oxygenase-1 deficient mice Expression of lung epithelial and vascular genes in wildtype and HO-1 -/- after dexamethasone treatment. Gene expression of surfactant protein (SP)-A, -B, -C, and D, as well as Flk-1 and Tie-2 was determined by realtime PCR and normalized to 18 S mRNA levels. Data represents relative quantification of mRNA to wildtype littermates at baseline (no treatment). * P < 0.05 vs. WT, †P < 0.05 vs. untreated group of same genotype. n = 3-4 for each group.Back to article page
