Table 2. Cell apoptosis value comparison between shRNA-negative and shRNA-natriuretic peptide receptor 2.

Groups	Live cells (%)	Apoptosis cells (%)
shRNA-negative	86.73±2.56	13.03±1.08
shRNA-NPR2	72.38±1.18*	27.49±0.93*

Values are presented as mean±standard error of mean of three independent experiments. ^*An asterisk indicates the level of significance within the columns (p<0.05).
