(A) Thoracic aorta and (B) whole heart RNA expressed as a percent of the reference mRNA, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). The left panel shows expression of six K2P family gene members; the right panel shows expression levels of three non-K2P, but vascular related targets. (C) Expression of K2P6.1 in vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells of Tie2-GFP aorta. GFP+ indicates Tie2-expressing cells as the endothelial fraction (RNA profile eNOS+/sm22α−). GFP− indicates non-Tie2 expressing cells as the vascular smooth muscle fraction (RNA profile eNOS−/sm22α+). Data in C are normalized to GADPH and expressed as the % of the gene with greatest expression for each individual fraction. *p<0.05, n=4-10 for each experimental group.
