Figure Lengend Snippet: RT-PCR validation of microarray results. Gene expression was measured in selected genes, Gst1a2, Pcna, and Mapk6 using RT-PCR. Each sample was assayed in triplicate for each gene. Each sample represents pooled RNA created from equal amounts of total RNA from three independent RNA samples, representing individual animals. Each of these samples was obtained from a different animal, and no sample was included in more than one pool. In total, samples from nine animals per group were pooled for control, NMBA, PEITC, and PEITC + NMBA. In all cases, RT-PCR measurements (vertical filled bars) confirmed the changes in gene expression identified by microarray analysis (dotted filled bars).
Article Snippet: Chemicals NMBA was purchased from Ash Stevens, Inc., and PEITC was from Aldrich Chemical Company.
