Mechanosensor gene expression modifications upon skeletal muscle unloading. Relative gene expression profiles of a Ilk, b Fermt2, c Vcl, d Tln2, e Pxn, and f Yap between CTR and HS mice in GAS and SOL muscles. Expression is relative to the housekeeping gene Rpl41. Statistical analysis used was two-way ANOVA with Sidak’s multiple comparison post hoc test on the following number of animals: GAS 10 CTR and 10 HS animals, SOL 8 CTR and 10 HS animals. *p value < 0.05; **p value < 0.01; ***p value < 0.001; ^#p value = 0.05–0.1
