Figure 7

Expressions of prepro endothelin-1 (ET-1), platelet-derived growth factor-A (PDGF-A) and PDGF-B in quiescent and activated myofibroblasts. Myofibroblasts were cultured on either Matrigel or non-coated plastic dishes and starved overnight. Expression of prepro ET-1, PDGF-A and PDGF-B mRNA was analysed by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). (a) Results are expressed as the percentage of optical density±s.e.m. relative to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). **P<0.01 (n=5–6). (b) Typical trace of RT-PCR analysis for GAPDH, prepro ET-1, PDGF-A and PDGF-B.
