  1. RT–PCR=reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction; HGF=hepatocyte growth factor; NA; not analysed.
  2. aRNA transcript level in arbitrary units was standardised by the level of GAPDH, and expressed as fold change in treated relative to untreated cells. RT–PCR analysis was performed with the same total RNA as used in the microarray experiments. PCR ratios calculated from analysis of one biological sample with either gastrin or HGF are shown.
  3. bCorresponding microarray ratio for the same biological sample.
