mRNA expression of MAPT and TTBK1 decrease following sciatic nerve injury.

Relative expression of MAPT (A) and TTBK1 (B). The levels of the mRNAs encoding tau and TTBK1 were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Expression levels of target genes were normalized to GAPDH. Data were summarized from three independent exprements, and values are shown as the mean ± SEM. Differences between groups were tested using one-way analysis of variance. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, vs. 0 day. MAPT: Microtubule-associated protein tau; TTBK1: tau tubulin kinase 1; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; d: day(s).
