Transcription of NSE is developmentally regulated in developing mouse gut. A. Real-time PCR was used to quantify NSE transcripts in fetal mouse gut. NSE transcripts were detectable at E14 and increased significantly at E16−18 (p < 0.001). The relative abundance of NSE transcripts was lower in adult than fetal gut (p < 0.001). B. Semiquantitative RT-PCR. Transcripts encoding NSE were not detected at E12, but were present in the fetal bowel at E14, 16, and 18. The brain (Br) was investigated as a positive control. DNA contamination was minimal because no PCR product was obtained in the absence of RT.
