Figure 7

Expression of uPAR splice variant mRNA in different tissues/cell types. A series of real-time PCR (TaqMan) assays was used to measure the expression of different splice variants of uPAR in an extended panel of tissues/cell types (lung, brain, HASM, undifferentiated HBEC, BEAS2B, PMN, PBMC, THP1). Expression of each variant is shown as mean + SEM of three PCR replicates, for two donors or biological replicates as appropriate. Data are shown as 2-ΔCt normalised to HPRT1 and relative to a suitable plasmid positive control containing the specific splice variant cDNA (designated 100%). (A) total uPAR, (B) total classical uPAR (exon 7), (C) classical uPAR exon 6 deletion, (D) classical uPAR exons 5+6 deletion, (E) classical uPAR exon 3 deletion, (F) total alternative uPAR (exon7b), (G) alternative uPAR exon 4+5 deletion. Classical uPAR exon 5 and 4+5 deletions and alternative uPAR exon 5 deletion were not detected.
