Basal mRNA expression of EMT-related transcription factors, except Zeb2, was higher in DHBE cells. Basal mRNA expression of EMT-related transcription factors in non-COPD (NHBE, open bar, n = 3) and COPD (DHBE, closed bar, n = 3) human bronchial epithelial cells were analyzed by real-time RT-PCR. Results were normalized to NHBE and expressed as mean (SE) of three independent experiments. Data were analysed by Student t test, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.0001, compared with NHBE.
