Figure 3. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of gene expression of elastic fiber components in 7 day-old mouse skin.

Figure 3

No significant difference in gene expression was observed between wild-type and Fbln5−/− skin for elastin (Eln), fibrillin-1 and -2 (Fbn1 and Fbn2), and fibulin-1 and -3 (Fbln1 and Fbln3). In contrast, genes encoding fibulin-2 and -4 (Fbln2 and Fbln4), and lysyl oxidase (Lox) and lysyl oxidase like-1 (Loxl1) were significantly upregulated in the absence of fibulin-5 (means ± S.D.; * = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.01, *** = p < 0.005; n = 5 for each genotype).
