(A) The primer sequences used for reverse-transcriptase PCR. (B) Messenger RNAs of PDGF ligands and cognate receptors expressed in paired samples of a leiomyoma and the adjacent myometrium. Representative gels from three patients are shown. M = leiomyoma sample; C = control sample of the adjacent myometrium. (C) Comparison of gene expression levels of the PDGF gene family between a leiomyoma and the adjacent myometrium performed by quantitative real-time PCR. The relative amounts of each mRNA were normalized to 18S ribosomal RNA levels. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. ∗P<.05.
