Quantitative real-time PCR of three genes using GAPDH as an endogenous control. "*" indicates a significant difference between normal and diabetic rats stimulated with or without IL-1α or TNF-α IL-6 and TGF-β 2 showed no significant difference between untreated normal and diabetic rat, but the diabetic rat showed a significant down-regulation when cytokine treated. Ppm1a showed a significant up-regulation in all diabetic cases.
