a PCR-Array analysis compairing the mRNA expression of HGF and inflammatory cytokines between pulmonary endarterectomy tissues and control pulmonary arteries. *: p < 0.05. The error bar represents the 95% confidence interval. Abbreviation: HGF; Hepatocyte Growth Factor, IL-1β; Interleukin-1β, IL-6; Interleukin-6, IL-8; Interleukin-8, TNF-α; Tumor Necrosis Factor-α. b The Western blotting of proteins extracted from pulmonary endarterectomy specimens and control pulmonary arteries. c The band signal strength of HGF is expressed as the ratio to beta-actin. The error bar represents the standard deviation. The expression of HGF protein from the pulmonary endarterectomy specimens was higher than that from the control pulmonary arteries
