BMP4 Is a Peripherally-Derived Factor for Motor Neurons and Attenuates Glutamate-Induced Excitotoxicity In Vitro
Figure 5
Expression of BMP4 mRNA in the neuromuscular system following nerve ligation.
Total RNA was isolated from sciatic nerve (n = 4), soleus muscle (n = 6) and lumbar spinal cord (n = 6) of control and nerve-ligated mice. Expression levels of BMP4 mRNA were measured by real-time PCR. Data are presented using GAPDH expression level as 100%. Values are mean ± SEM (*, P<0.05, compared to normal mice using Student's t test).
