^aAll measurements are averages of triplicate qPCR results from triplicate biological samples.

^bRelative expression ratios were generated from REST 2009 software using the mathematical model described by Pfaffl et al. (32).

^cP values were generated by using REST 2009 software. *, Statistically significant P values in pairwise comparison that fulfilled the criterion in the Holm test.
