Bone morphogenetic protein-2 functions as a negative regulator in the differentiation of myoblasts, but not as an inducer for the formations of cartilage and bone in mouse embryonic tongue

Table 3 mRNA levels of Id1

Vehicle- and BMP-2-treated tongues
Genes	Vehicle	Recombinant BMP-2	Significance
Id1	0.000517 ± 0.000133	0.00054 ± 0.000184	NS
NTC- and BMP-2 siRNA-treated tongues
	NTC	BMP-2 siRNA
Id1	0.000454 ± 0.000264	0.000381 ± 0.000149	NS

The mean ± standard deviation of six vehicle-treated or six BMP-2-treated tongues for each gene is shown. The ratio of each target gene mRNA relative to GAPDH mRNA is shown.
