Figure 2.
The mRNA expression levels of ADAM12m in nonneoplastic brain tissues (NB), low-grade astrocytomas (LGA), anaplastic astrocytomas (AA), glioblastomas (GB), intracranial neurinomas (Neu), and metastatic carcinomas (Met). Relative mRNA expression levels of ADAM12m to 18S ribosomal RNA in each sample were measured by the real-time quantitative PCR as described in Materials and Methods. Bars indicate mean value. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01.
