The mRNA levels of β1, but not α, are downregulated in HT cerebral arteries. (a) Conventional RT-PCR analysis of α and β1 transcript expression in NT and HT arteries. STD = 100-bp marker; NEG = nontemplate control. (b) Bar plot of the α and β1 transcript abundance in NT and HT smooth muscle as determined by real-time RT-PCR. For each sample, α and β1 amplifications were normalized to the amount of 18S RNA present. See the Methods section for all primer and probe sequences. *P < 0.05.
