^*Expression levels are expressed as mean ± SEM of the normalized relative quantity (NRQ) obtained from triplicate experiments. NRQ of control group (MRS) is constantly 1.0 and not shown. ^†p-value was obtained by comparing to the control group using Student’s t-test. Bold values denote statistical significance at p < 0.05.
