Gene expression by qRT-PCR. The data are shown on a log scale as the mean ± SEM (n = 4 each, except microarray control group n = 3) for the ratio of gene expression with treatments relative to control (set at 1.0). qRT-PCR values were determined from the ΔΔCt for the target genes (A – I), relative to β-actin (ACTB), and the microarray values are signal intensities (normalised but not log transformed). Significantly different results for treatments used one-way ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD post hoc test; P < 0.05.
