Fig. 3. mRNA expression of β-catenin regulated genes to control hair follicle differentiation were reduced in VDR KO mice.

Fig. 3

Total RNA was isolated from the whole skin of littermate controls (open bars) and VDR null mice (closed bars) at 11 weeks of age. The mRNA levels of PADI1, PADI3, S100A3, and Dlx3 were measured by QPCR. Relative expression of these genes compared to GAPDH was calculated. Relative expression to control mice was expressed as a percentage (%). Data are represented as mean and standard deviation (SD) of three mice in each group. All data were analyzed by t-test, and statistical significance compared to control group is shown with asterisks (*P <0.05).
