Figure Lengend Snippet: Proteomic analysis of Tg2576 mice infused with blood from old and young wild type mice. ( A ) Heatmap of quantifiable proteins from the Old Blood and Young Blood groups, showing log fold-change (logFC) in protein expression. ( B ) Venn diagram of differentially expressed proteins in an Old Blood vs. Young Blood groups comparison. ( C ) Canonical pathway analysis of differentially expressed proteins, highlighting enriched signaling pathways with activation z-scores. ( D – F ) Differentially expressed proteins in cAMP-mediated signaling, synaptogenesis signaling, and endocannabinoid neuronal synapse pathways, respectively. Gene names are used. ( G , H ) Representative western blot image and quantitative analysis of expression of CACNA2D2 in brain homogenates. ( I , J ) Representative western blot image and quantitative analysis of expression of BRAF in brain homogenates. ( K , L ) Representative western blot image and quantitative analysis of expression of Syngap1 in brain homogenates. ( M , N ) Representative western blot image and quantitative analysis of expression of MAPK9 in brain homogenates. ( O , P ) Representative western blot image and quantitative analysis of expression of GRK2 in brain homogenates. N = 3/group for proteomic analysis, and n = 4/group for protein validation (random mix of males and females; young donor group: 1–2M/2F; old donor group: 1–2M/2F). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Data in ( H ), ( J ), ( L ), ( N ), and ( P ) were analyzed using Student’s t -test. * p < 0.05.
