  1. With the exception of LHX5, BMP4, and HAND1, none of the genes was expressed at detectable levels in mock-treated hEC cell cultures. We did not investigate whether T was transiently up-regulated during cellular differentiation. For the calculation of expression ratios reference intensities were arbitrarily set to the level of threshold expression. n/a denotes insignificant expression also in the RNAi samples. * and ** indicate statistical significance of the expression changes (P < 0.05 and < 0.01, respectively).
