Fig. 3. Quantitative measurements of gene expression changes in G6-Nkx
DH lungs. (A) Q-PCR expression levels of CC10, SP-B, SP-C and Wnt7b
in wild-type and G6-Nkx DH lungs. (B) Q-PCR expression of
Gata6 and Nkx2.1 in wild-type, Gata6+/-,
Nkx2.1+/- and G6-Nkx DH lungs. Q-PCR was performed on
RNA extracted from whole lungs of the indicated genotypes at E18.5. All values
were compared with expression in wild-type lungs, which was arbitrarily set at
1. Values are the average of four lung samples from each genotype performed in
triplicate ±s.e.m. *P<0.001 versus wild-type,
Gata6+/- or Nkx2.1+/- lungs.
**P<0.05, non-significant changes compared to wild type.
