Table 3.

Average fold differences in steady-state mRMA levels compared with non-stimulated tenocytes, at 6 h of activation, for extracellular matrix- and cell adhesion-related genes.

mRNA	IL-4	IL-13
VCAM1	15.88	27.38
Thrombospondin 1	3.92	2.81
Tenascin C	2.66	2.94
ADAMTS	0.21	0.29
Integrin β5	0.22	0.30

For clarity, the standard deviations are not shown, but the variability within each group did not exceed 0.25 cycles of PCR amplification.

-- = difference was > 0.5 but < 2.0; ADAMTS = A disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif; VCAM = vascular cell adhesion molecule.
