Quantitative real-time RTPCR to determine the relative expression of selected SLC genes in HGFs with 18S rRNA gene normalization. The relative amount of (A) SLC20A1, (B) SLC20A2, (C) SLC34A1, (D) SLC34A2, and (E) SLC34A3 transporter gene expression in HGFs compared to the respective, known positive control tissue expression is shown. In each graph, HGF expression is set to one with positive control expression expressed as fold increase from that. Error bars represent standard error of the mean. Significant differences between HGF and positive control are denoted as follows: double asterisk ** indicates p less than or equal to 0.01, single asterisk * indicates p less than or equal to 0.05, and ns indicates non-significant difference.
