Comparison and correlation analysis of differentially expressed genes between qRT-PCR and RNA-seq. (a) Comparison of differentially expressed genes level from qRT-PCR and RNA-seq. (b) The correlation of differentially expressed genes between qRT-PCR and RNA-seq. CHGB, chromogranin B; APOB, apolipoprotein B; SOST, sclerostin; GAL, galanin and GMAP; SST, somatostatin; ACTC1, actin, alpha, cardiac muscle 1; CHAC1, ChaC glutathione specific gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase 1; SIK1, salt inducible kinase 1; ANGPTL4, angiopoietin like 4; RRM2, ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2. The gene expression was normalized as fold change using 18S ribosomal RNA (n = 3 per group)
