Figure 5From: Cigarette smoke regulates VEGFR2-mediated survival signaling in rat lungsBcl-2 mRNA levels in CS exposed rat lung. (A) A representative RT-PCR picture of Bcl-2 mRNA levels after 3 days, 8 weeks and 6 months of CS exposure. Bcl-2 mRNA expression remains unaltered at all time point compared to sham-exposed animals (n = 6). (B) Histograms represent the Mean ± SE of percentage of Bcl-2 mRNA expression levels.Back to article page
