Figure Lengend Snippet: Expression of CAP markers and VEGF-A isoforms during human prenatal lung development. RT-qPCR analysis of the expression of universal capillary marker CA4 and CAP2 specific markers ( SOSTDC1 , HPGD, EDNRB, CA4, APLN, and TBX2 ) (A) and of total VEGF-A ( VEGF-Atot ) as well as each VEGF-A isoform ( VEGF-A121 , VEGF-A145 , VEGF-A165 , VEGF-A189 ) (B) in native human prenatal lungs aged from the late pseudoglandular to the early canalicular stages of development (week 10–20 of GA). Results are shown as a dot plot with mean ± SEM, n = 8–10, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
