Cell injury PCR array. Eighty-four genes involved in cell injury were screened and fold changes in the expression levels from [Het NEC (NEC score ≥ 2)] distal ileums (black bar) and jejunums (light gray bar) overexpression levels from Wt NEC (NEC score ≥ 2) distal ileums and jejunums were calculated by the web-based ΔΔCt method. TGF-β₁, transforming growth factor-β₁; Ccl2, chemokine ligand 2 (only in jejunum); Ccl5 chemokine ligand 5 (only in ileum); Thbs1, thrombospondin 1; Mmp2, matrix metallopeptidase 2; Col18a1, collagen type XVIII-α1; Agt, angiotensinogen (only in jejunum); ACE, angiotensin I converting enzyme (only in ileum); PECAM1, platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1; VCAM1, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1; Thbd, thrombomodulin. *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.005; ***P ≤ 0.0005 vs. Wt NEC, by Student's t-test.
