Figure 3.
Expression levels of VEGF165 and SEMA3A in MGUS and MM plasma cells compared with paired ECs. (A) Real-time RT-PCR shows data as fold expression of the lowest transcribed value. (B) Western blot analysis of cell CM shows that VEGF165 and SEMA3A protein levels vary in parallel with their mRNA in 2 representative patients with MGUS and MM, respectively. Significance of changes determined by the Wilcoxon-Wilcox test.
