RT-PCR quantification of Del-1 mRNA expression in various mouse tissues during sepsis. After 24 h of CLP, relative quantification of Del-1 expression shows that CLP significantly decreased Del-1 mRNA expression in adrenal gland, heart, brain, and lung tissue, but not kidney. The data are shown as a ratio of the control, which is set as 1.0. The data are shown as the mean ± SEM (n = 5 mice per experimental group and n = 3 mice per control group). *P < 0.05, Mann-Whitney U test (Student’s t-test in D). CLP: cecal ligation and puncture; Del-1: developmental endothelial locus-1; RT-PCR: real-time polymerase chain reaction.
