Figure 2

Scatter plot analysis of array results shows the differentially expressed genes between embryonic and postnatal stages. Graph denotes the logarithmic values of average gene expression in either stage. A total of 11 genes, Tgfbr4, Pgf, Tnf, Tnfrsf12a, Vegfc, Col18a1, Jag1, Pofut1, Ephb4, Tgfb3, and Mdk displayed higher expression in embryonic stage (shown in green). Eight genes, Ccl2, Figf, Fgf1, Lect1, Ptgs1, Cdh5, Ctgf, and Il18 showed a higher level of expression at postnatal stage (shown in red), but with a significant difference for only Ccl2 (p: 0.011) and Il18 (0.028) between two phases. House-keeping genes were equally expressed in both stages, except for the B2m. Boundary value was assigned as 1.5 fold.
