Detailed methods used for qRT-PCR have been described previously (28 (link)). Specific primers were purchased from Qiagen (QuantiTech Primer Assays), for each primer set the efficiency was > 95% and a single product was seen on melt curve analysis. Relative expression levels were calculated using the 2-ΔΔCt method normalizing to GAPDH expression levels for each treatment and the fold increase in expression was relative to the smallest expression level.
