Validation of microarray results by QRT-PCR. A set of seven genes whose expressions were significantly different in the lungs and blood of the silica-exposed rats as indicated by the microarray findings were analyzed by QRT-PCR as described in the “Materials and methods” section. The microarray data presented is the mean fold change (n= 6) and the QRT-PCR data presented is mean fold change ± SE (n= 6) of silica-exposed rats compared with the control. A. Lung results, B. Blood results. *Statistically significant (p < 0.05) compared to the control rats.
