FIG. 5.
Basal activation of the 3D SW-CC on day 7. mRNA expression of angiopoietin 1, calponin 1, E-selectin, and ICAM-1 in indicated cultures was determined by quantitative real-time PCR. Data were normalized to the corresponding values of a freshly isolated piece of mouse IVC. Bar graphs display mean ± SD. n = 4, *p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's multiple comparison test. Mean ΔCT values are included for each sample group. IVC, inferior vena cava; mRNA, messenger RNA; PCR, polymerase chain reaction.
