Article Title: Transcriptional Network Analysis Reveals that AT1 and AT2 Angiotensin II Receptors Are Both Involved in the Regulation of Genes Essential for Glioma Progression
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0110934
Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Gene expression levels of Angiotensin II receptors (Agtr1 and Agtr2) were evaluated by qPCR. B) Technical validation of oligonucleotide microarray data by qPCR of Ang II-regulated genes. The expression of the genes Agtrap, Map2k4, Bcar1, Lamb1, Prkca, Hbegf, Aqp2, Vegfa, Ctgf and Nlrp3 was assessed to confirm gene expression changes identified by oligonucleotide microarray analysis. The gene Gapdh was used as an internal control. The comparison is made between average log2 expression values derived from microarray experiments and arbitrary units obtained from qPCR assays.
Article Snippet: Arrays were incubated at 65°C for 17 h in Agilent's microarray hybridization chambers and subsequently washed according to Agilent's one-color microarray-based gene expression analysis protocol (Version 5.7, March 2008).
