Expression of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitor metalloproteinases increases in X-irradiated rat ileum despite the disappearance of CD8a T cells

Figure 6 Plasminogen, U-PA, t-PA and PAI-1 mRNA level after X-irradiation with a single dose of 10 Gy. Gene expressions of plasminogen, U-PA, t-PA and PAI-1 were determined by real-time RT-PCR measured in control ilea (C) and one (D1), three (D3) and seven days (D7) after X-irradiation. Results are mean±SE, significantly different from controls: ^aP<0.05, ^bP<0.01 vs others (A-D).
