Fig. 5. Comparison of transcriptional levels of selected genes between primary astrocyte cultures and WT-iAstro cells.

The graph shows log scale of RNA levels for specific genes detected in primary mouse hippocampal astrocytes (light gray bars) and in four WT-iAstro lines (#2, #3, #5, #6) (dark gray bars). Data are expressed as mean ± SD ΔC(t) of gene/S18 of four independent cultures. Unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-test was used for statistical analysis; ^#p = 0.17; ^§p = 0.00054; *p = 0.0028; ^£p = 0.012; ^$p = 0.0019; **p = 0.048; ^&p = 0.055; ^@p = 0.064; ^##p = 0.013; ^§§p = 0.091;^££p = 0.019; ^%p = 0.00002; ^@@p = 0.021; ^$$p = 0.19
