Varicose vein tissues show upregulated FOXC2-AS1 and FOXC2. a qRT-PCR was performed to examine the expression of FOXC2-AS1 in human varicose veins and normal veins. The mRNA (b) and protein expression (c) of FOXC2 in human varicose veins and normal veins were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. GAPDH was used as the loading control. N = 10/group. Normal normal veins, VV varicose veins. ^**p < 0.01 vs. Normal group
