Statistical analysis
Datasets from gene expression experiments were imported to
Graph Pad Prism 5.0 software to conduct a one-way analysis of
variance (ANOVA) with one independent variable (gene expression)
and >2 conditions (different treatments of the EPC cells). The
comparison of gene expression between control EPC cells and the
different experimental groups were obtained by Dunnet's Multiple
Comparison Test. A value of p < 0.05 was considered to indicate a
significant difference between the control group and the experimental
group.
