Expression levels of TrkB, BDNF, NT4/5 and galectin-1 in human uterine myometrium, leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma.

<p>To compare the expression levels of TrkB (A), BDNF (B), NT4/5 (C) and galectin-1 (D) in human uterine myometrium (n = 8), leiomyoma (n = 8) and leiomyosarcoma (n = 7), quantitative real-time RT-PCR was performed. The expression level of each transcript was normalized using transcript levels of β-actin in the same samples. Nor, normal myometrium; Myo, leiomyoma; Sar, leiomyosarcoma. Same corresponding samples were indicated as closed circles. Results were represented by scatter diagrams. Horizontal lines indicate medians. *, <i>P</i><0.05. N.S, not significant.
