Figure Lengend Snippet: Real-time PCR reactions were performed for endothelial specific markers ((A) VE-cadherin [CDH5, vascular endothelial-cadherin, CdH5, Ca ++ -dependent cell adhesion molecule, CD144], (B) endothelial nitric oxide synthase [eNOS] and (C) endothelial cell adhesion molecule [PECAM; CD 31]) using “custom designed” SYBR green mix as previously described. The data were analyzed in duplicated using the “modified” 2 −ΔΔCT equation. X axis is representing group of samples; Control Normoxic (C-HUCB ECFC-N, human umbilical cord blood ECFCs obtained from control pregnancies and plated under normoxic condition), Control Hypoxic (C-HUCB ECFC-H, human umbilical cord blood ECFCs obtained from control pregnancies and plated under hypoxic condition), GDM normoxic (GDM-HUCB ECFC-N, human umbilical cord blood ECFCs obtained from GDM subjects and plated under normoxic condition), GDM Hypoxic (GDM-HUCB ECFC-H, human umbilical cord blood ECFCs obtained from GDM subjects and plated under hypoxic condition). Y axis is representing the results of modified” 2 −ΔΔCT . (B) *eNOS mRNA expression in GDM-HUCB ECFC-H significantly decreased if compare with C-HUCB ECFC-N, C-HUCB ECFC-H and GDM-HUCB ECFC-N (p<0.05).
Article Snippet: Real-time PCR reactions were performed for PECAM 1 (CD31), VE-cadherin (CD144), eNOS, VEGFA, IGF-1 and β -actin in duplicated with a custom designed SYBR Green mix [2.4 μ l of 25 mM MgCl 2 , 5 μ l of 1:10,000 dilution SYBR Green I (Molecular Probes) and 5 μ l of 1 nM Fluorescein Calibration Dye (1 mM/L in DMSO, Bio-Rad) in 50 μ l of total reaction using Taq DNA polymerase (Promega) as described previously ( , – )].
