Figure Lengend Snippet: Differentially expressed genes related to TGFβ and Wnt signaling pathways. ( A ) Cytoscape representation of the genes described in Tables , . The darkest the node color, the highest the fold change (down regulation in green shades, upregulation in red shades; see Tables , for fold change values). ( B ) Expression profile from qRT-PCR analysis of several genes associated to the TGFβ signaling pathway ( smad7-1, smad7-2, dusp6-1, dusp6-2, zeb1b, mmp9 ), to Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway ( notum1a, frzb ), to both pathways ( bambia, fn1b ), a mesenchymal marker gene ( col1a1a ), and a set of genes related to pluripotency ( nanog, pou2, sox2, c-myca1 and c-myca2 ). Data are presented as fold change (FC) between treated and non-treated (control) cells. Error bars: SEM errors of the FC mean. A total of 5 to 9 paired samples (treated versus control cells) were analyzed per gene. Statistical test was performed using the nonparametric Wilcoxon test comparing the paired normalized expression values between egg extract treated and control cells. *Significant differences (p < 0.05) between treated and control values. Grey bars: upregulated genes; white bars: down regulated genes. Extensions -1 or -2 in the gene name correspond to duplicated gene copies in goldfish. It should be noted that these qPCR data confirm the microarray results indicating a deregulation of both signaling pathways.
