mRNA expression of vegf and fgf2 genes in rat sciatic nerve samples.

(А) coVEGF expression, (B) coFGF2 expression, (C) rat VEGF expression, (D) rat FGF2 expression. White columns represent expression in distal nerve parts, blue columns represents expression in proximal nerve parts. X-line axis indicates time points after administration of рBud-coVEGF165-coFGF2, Y-axis indicates mRNA relative expression. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, vs. the control (one-way analysis of variance with post hoc Tukey’s test). The expression level of the studied genes in the right sciatic nerve was taken as 100%. The analysis was carried out in triplicate. n = 5 animals per group.
