Fig. 5From: Effect of ciliary neurotrophic factor on neural differentiation of stem cells of human exfoliated deciduous teethEffect of CNTF on marker gene expression in neurogenic differentiation of SHEDs. SHEDs were cultured in neurogenic medium without (control) or with CNTF (15 ng/L) for the indicated time. qRT-PCR was performed to examine the expression of NES (encoding Nestin) (a), MAP 2 (b), TUBB3 (encoding β-tubulin III) (c), and CHAT (encoding ChAT) (d) genes. Data are form 3 independent experiments in triplicate (n = 3). The data for each gene are normalized with the control on the same day. *p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 as compared with control on the same day. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 as compared with day 1Back to article page
