Figure 10

Gene expression of CINC mRNA in rat lungs in the inhalation study. (A) CINC-1. (B) CINC-2αβ. (C) CINC-3. Relative gene expression means 2-ΔΔCT. (ΔΔCT: the difference of the average ΔCT value of fullerene-exposed group and the average ΔCT of unexposed group). An asterisk indicates a statistically significant difference of P < 0.05 compared to each unexposed group; double asterisk, of P < 0.01 compared to each unexposed group. Inhaled fullerenes did not induce gene expression of CINC-1, CINC-2αβ and CINC-3 mRNA.
