Total RNA was isolated from treated HPMCS using the Qiagen RNeasy kit and transcribed into cDNA, as previously described6 (link),24 (link). uPAR (PLAUR), uPA (PLAU), LRP1 and α-SMA (ACTA2) gene expression was then determined by qPCR analyses on a Bio-Rad CFX Touch (Table 2). GUSB and GAPDH were used as loading controls.

Includes the reference information for the genes used in the detailed qPCR analyses.
