The 3^rd sample of Inter is abnormal due to inefficient knockdown.

<p><b>(A)</b> An MDS plot of NC and Inter illustrates the abnormality of the 3^rd Inter sample. <b>(B)</b> The expression level was not sufficiently knocked down in the 3^rd Inter group. The genes that were differentially expressed between the two experiment conditions are presented. The error bars indicate SEM for three replicates (qRT-PCR). Significance was not calculated because to data for each bar do not represent biological replicates.
