The relative gene expression levels of DEG verified by qRT-PCR. Relative mRNA levels were standardized to the internal reference gene, ribosomal protein L40 (Rpl40), and calculated with a rigorous algorithm according to the 2-ΔΔCT method. The quantitative change of each gene that was represented by relative fold-change in the main beams was normalized and compared to the brow tines, separately. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation of multiple independent experiments with each in technical triplicates. * indicates that the p value is less than 0.001 in the t-test
