Fig. 7. (A-E) RT-PCR analysis showing the differences of Vcam1 (A), Tie1 (B), Tie2 (C), Ang1 (D) and Ang2 (E) transcript levels in the livers (left) and kidneys (right) of severe Sox17+/--Sox18-/- (
), mild Sox17+/--Sox18-/- (
) and Sox18-/- (
) groups at P7. Vertical axis represents relative expression levels of each vascular endothelial cell marker gene per G3pdh amplicon ratio; horizontal axis represents the severe or mild Sox17+/--Sox18-/- group or the Sox18-/- group. Each value indicates the expression level in each sample (one neonate); average of the values indicate the bar. Each asterisk on the average bar indicates a significant difference (*P<0.05; **P<0.01) compared with the data of the Sox18-/- group.
