Fig 5. Sound-triggered gene response in the presence of RNA polymerase II inhibitor.

ST2 cells were pre-treated with 5 μM α-amanitin for 1 hour and subjected to 440 Hz, 94.0 dB sine-wave sound for 0, 1, 2, and 4 hours. Open circles indicate statistically significant changes of each gene at each time point compared with 0 hour (P < 0.01). (Error bars represent standard deviation, n > 5.).
