Figure 3. Expression of versican mRNA in vitro.
Versican is expressed in various renal and non-renal cell lines. HK2 renal proximal tubule cells, SF primary skin fibroblasts, TK173 kidney fibroblasts, A431 epidermoid carcinoma cell line, EP prostate epithelial cells, CACO2 colon carcinoma cells, CMS primary smooth muscle cells, EA.hy926 endothelial cells. The expression values are shown as ratio to PPIA. The mean and the standard deviation from n = 3 experiments is shown. * p<0.05 as compared to HK2 cells measured by a two-tailed t-test. n.e. not expressed.
