List of epicardial genes expressed in epicardial samples isolated by LCM as described in Materials and Methods. Genes from Cluster 1 (from Figure 1), were selected for statistically significant upregulation in the epicardial samples, a normalized >4-fold increased expression in the epicardial sample compared to the muscle control and raw expression of at least 20 in the epicardial samples. This selection identified 197 unique epicardial signature genes. This Table includes top hits with a cut off at 25 fold induction in epicardial samples plus two selected epicardial genes with lower induction.
