Decorin negatively regulates the transcription of critical genes. Quantitative real-time PCR showing transcriptional inhibition of key target genes represented as fold changes normalized to the housekeeping gene ACTB (β-actin). The data were obtained from HeLa cells treated with 500 nm decorin for 24 h prior to lysis and represent the average fold changes as calculated by the double ΔCt method ± S.E. (n = 12, ***, p < 0.001; NS, not significant). For additional information refer to the text.
