From: Altered Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist and Interleukin-18 mRNA Expression in Myocardial Tissues of Patients with Dilatated Cardiomyopathy

Figure 1

Expression of 18S rRNA, caspase-1, caspase-3, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-18, IL-1-RI, and IL-1ra mRNA in ICM and DCM patients. RT-PCR analysis was preformed as described in Material and Methods. Expected sizes of the PCR products are given in Table 2. Two PCR experiments each were performed with equal results. bp, 100-bp DNA ladder, the brightest band at 600 bp; St, standardization sample: an aliquot of PCR with human smooth muscle cell cDNA, used as positive control, was applied to the gel and used for quantification of PCR products.
