mRNA expression of cultured ISMC and MS 14 for after neonatal harvest.

<p>There was no significant difference in mRNA expression for smooth muscle markers between cultured ISMC and MS, including SMA, DES, and MHC. There was a significant increase in mRNA expression of BTUB in cultured MS (p<0.05, *; n = 6). Samples were normalized to smooth muscle from the harvest with GAPDH as a control gene.
