Figure 3. Quantitative PCR showing relative mRNA levels of ferrous iron importers in Hepc KO retinas compared to Wt controls.

Figure 3

Scatterplots showing relative mRNA levels in Hepc KO mice and age-, strain-, and sex-matched Wt controls measured by qPCR. Total Dmt1 (+/−IRE) mRNA levels were lower in Hepc KO mice (A). mRNA levels of the two Dmt1 (+IRE) isoforms were significantly lower in Hepc KO mice (B). Dmt1 (−IRE) mRNA levels were not significantly different in the two genotypes (C). The mRNA levels of Zip8 and Zip14 were not significantly changed between the Wt and Hepc KO retinas (D–E). Numbers represent mean values (±SEM). Wt controls (n=3) and Hepc KO neural retinas (n=3). ** p < 0.01.
