Quantitative PCR analysis of DUSP expressions in epileptic control and grade IV GB tumors. Quantitative PCR analysis of DUSP1, DUSP2, DUSP7, and DUSP8 expression in human grade IV GB tissue samples (GB, n = 9) and temporal lobe epileptic controls (normal, n = 4) maintained by the University of Rochester Brain Tissue Bank. Fold-induction data are presented relative to the average expression of the comparator gene within epileptic controls and presented using a log2 scale. Statistical significance was measured across groups by one-way ANOVA (ns = not significant, * = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.01)
