From: Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 and Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Expression in Osteoblasts
STAT1 gene and protein expression in osteoblasts isolated from control and AIS patients. (a) STAT1 gene expression was measured in osteoblasts of controls (n = 7) and AIS patients (n = 13) by RT-qPCR with GAPDH as endogenous control. Relative expression was analyzed with the 2−ΔΔCT method. (b) STAT-1 protein expression was evaluated by Western blot (n = 3/group) and β-actin was used as endogenous control. *P < 0.05 using two-tailed Student’s t-test. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation.
