Figure 3From: Differential regulation of neurotrophin expression in human bronchial smooth muscle cellsDose-dependent effects of IL-1β on neurotrophin mRNA expression in HBSMC evaluated by real-time RT-PCR. NGF mRNA expression evaluated at 6 h (solid squares); BDNF mRNA expression evaluated at 48 h (open triangle); NT-3 mRNA evaluated at 48 h (closed triangles). The IL-1β-dependent effects on neurotrophin mRNA expression are expressed as change in neurotrophin mRNA (%) from baseline level of time-related control. Unstimulated control is set to 0 %. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of 3 independent experiments performed in duplicate. *: p < 0.05 for NGF and #: p < 0.05 for BDNF versus unstimulated control.Back to article page
