Figure 2 Messenger RNA amounts for laminin, fibronectin, and type I collagen as estimated by PCR. Regarding fibronectin, the great variability between patients observed on Western blot was also confirmed at PCR, with a tendency toward higher levels at the convexity in all pathologic aortas. The mRNA for laminin was always decreased in pathologic samples when compared with normal ones: in regurgitant BAVs, its expression was significantly lower at the convexity than at the concavity (P = .005; ⁎P < .05 for unpaired t test vs corresponding control specimens; ⁎⁎P < .05 both vs regurgitant concavity and vs control concavity). We tried to identify the oligonucleotidic sequence for tenascin C, but it was not possible to measure its mRNA. Conc, Concavity; Conv, convexity.
