Fig. 6. Expression of genes for small-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels in SMC, ICC, and PDGFRα+ cells of the murine colon by qRT-PCR analysis.
Note that PDGFRα+ cells demonstrate strong expression of Kcnn3, whereas SMC show strong expression of Kcnn1. TCP, total cell population (n=6), Sorted SMC, ICC and PDGFRα+ cells (each n=3). Asterisks indicate P<0.05 when compared to the transcript isolated from TCP.
