Relative expression of extracellular matrix genes in Gal-3-deficient mice

	Day 7 UUO	P	Day 14 UUO	P
Fibronectin	1.2 (0.4–7.8)	0.77	0.2 (0.07–0.7)	0.003*
Collagen I	0.4 (0.1–1.2)	0.11	0.2 (0.05–0.6)	0.005*
Collagen III	0.9 (0.5–1.4)	0.61	0.8 (0.4–2.0)	0.46

Semiquantitative real-time qPCR of galectin-3 (Gal-3)-deficient compared with wild-type mice. Data were analyzed with REST software using both GAPDH and 18S as reference housekeeping genes. Each sample was performed in triplicate (n = 6/group; 95%tile confidence interval in parentheses).

UUO, unilateral ureteral obstruction.
