mRNA expression analysis of EMT-related transcription factors in non-COPD and COPD lungs. Basal mRNA expression of EMT-related transcription factors in non-COPD (white bars, n = 4) and COPD (black bars, n = 4) subjects. Lung tissues from non-COPD and COPD subjects were analyzed by real-time RT-PCR. Results were normalized to housekeeping gene (GAPDH mRNA) and expressed as mean (SE) of four independent experiments. Data were analysed by unpaired Student’s t test, (a) Snail (b) Snai2 (c) Twist1 (d) Twist2. Non-COPD subjects are non smokers
