Quantitative real-time RTPCR confirmation of relative changes detected in micro arrays. Relative quantification of mRNAs encoding for MMP 2, MMP 8, MMP 9, MMP 10, MMP 11, MMP 12, MMP 20, Icam, Itgax, Ncam, Plat, and Serpinb2 related to the housekeeping gene GAPDH was undertaken by real-time RTPCR. The lung samples originated from control, monocrotaline (MCT[42d]), and monocrotaline plus tolafentrine (MCT[42d]/Tola) treated animals. All values are given as mean ± SEM. *, p < 0.05 versus control, †, p < 0.05 versus MCT[42d].
