The expression of Reg family genes in the periosteum. The mRNA levels of rat Reg family genes (Reg I, Reg IV, Pap I/Reg II, Pap II/Reg III, and Pap III) in the periosteum before (0) and 1, 2, 4, and 6 weeks after the fracture (N = 4 to 8). The data are indicated by mean ± SD. The mRNA levels before fracture (0 w) are set at 1. The level of Reg I mRNA at 4 weeks fracture was significantly increased (p = 0.042 vs. 0 week). The levels of Pap I/Reg II mRNA at 1, 2, 4, and 6 weeks after fracture were significantly increased (p = 0.0418, 0.0025, 0.0047, and 0.0254, respectively). The levels of Pap II/Reg III mRNA at 2, 4, and 6 weeks after fracture were significantly increased (p = 0.0080, 0.0063, and 0.0150, respectively). The Pap III mRNA levels at 2, 4, and 6 weeks after fracture were increased (p = 0.0113, 0.0005, and 0.0045, respectively). The Reg IV mRNA levels at 1, 2, and 4 weeks after fracture were increased (p = 0.0006, 0.0403, and 0.0267, respectively). w = week.
