Analysis of gene expression using qPCR was performed as previously described [49 (link)]. The reactions were performed on ViiA Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) with Taqman Fast Universal PCR Master Mix (Life Technologies). The primer sets for all the genes was purchased from Life Technologies. The expression level of the genes was calculated using standard ΔΔCt method, with GAPDH as internal control. All reactions were performed with at least 3 replicates.
