Fold change values for BAMBI mRNA in response to TGFβ and LPS.

Effects of TGFβ or LPS on the relative mRNA levels for the TGFβ receptors TβR1 and TβR2 and the Toll-like receptors TLR2 and TLR4 in murine mesangial cells (mMC) and murine glomerular endothelial cells (mGEC). Cells were incubated under control (CTRL) conditions or with the addition of TGFβ (5 ng/ml) or LPS (1 µg/ml) for 6 and 24 hours. Data for mRNA are corrected for actin expression and calculated as fold change compared to the respective untreated controls. Values represent means +/− SEM and for the number (n) of independent series of experiments indicated. Asterisks indicate: * P<0.05; ** P<0.005; *** P<0.001 as compared to the respective controls.
