Fig. 5: Relative pulmonary and cerebral expression of corticosteroid target genes in premature mice at birth compared to expression of controls and fetuses.
From: Preterm birth is associated with epigenetic programming of transgenerational hypertension in mice
Relative pulmonary mRNA expression of Sgk1 (a), Gilz (b), and αENaC (c) and cerebral mRNA expression of Sgk1 (d) and Gilz (e) at birth. Relative mRNA expression in mice was determined using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). The results are expressed as the ratio of attomoles of specific gene per attomoles of ribosomal r18S RNA, normalized to the expression of control mice, arbitrarily set at 1. n = 6 mice in each group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (compared to the control group); #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.005 (compared to the fetus group). Nonparametric Mann–Whitney U-tests.
