Dhcr7 Regulates Palatal Shelf Fusion through Regulation of Shh and Bmp2 Expression

Figure 1

The Dhcr7 mRNA and protein expression levels of the different treatment groups. In the left image and graph, RT-PCR results revealed significant differences when group A or B was compared with group C (, ); the difference between groups A and B was not statistically significant (). In the right image and graph, WB analysis showed that the ratio of Dhcr7/GAPDH difference was statistically significant when group C was compared with group A or B (); the difference was not statistically significant when group A was compared with group B (). In the graphs, 1, 2, and 3 show the expression of β-actin; ABC show the normal control group, control empty adenovirus group, and the experimental group, respectively, where A is normal control group, B is control empty adenovirus group, and C is experimental group.
