From: Quercetin improves epithelial regeneration from airway basal cells of COPD patients
Quercetin treatment enhances expression of developmental genes. Total RNA was isolated from 90% confluent monolayer of COPD BC (obtained from 8 COPD patients) treated with DMSO (COPD-P) or quercetin (COPD-Q), and normal BC (obtained from 8 healthy non-smokers). cDNA was synthesized and mRNA expression of developmental genes, ZO-3 and G3PDH was determined by qPCR. The data was expressed as fold change over G3PDH and presented as range with median (n = 8, ANOVA on ranks with Kruskal Wallace post-hoc analysis, *p ≤ 0.05, different from normal; # p ≤ 0.05, different from COPD-P).
