Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Venn diagrams illustrating the overlap between significantly dysregulated transcripts in three tissues. Names of the shared genes between all combinations of two tissues are indicated. (B) Heatmap detailing the extent of the log 2 fold changes in shared genes in all three tissues with blue for down and red for upregulated genes. The grey color represents transcript not detected in those tissues. Significant p-values are reported on the plots. * p-val<0.05,** p-val<0.01, and *** p-val<0.001. Significance was calculated using Quasi-likelihood F-test. (C) Bar charts showing the top significantly enriched terms in KEGG analysis of shared differentially expressed transcripts. The bar lengths report the significance of the enrichments, and the number of genes associated with each category is reported inside each bar. The red colour represents the significant terms (-log10(p-val) = 1.3). (D) Protein-protein network is formed by dysregulated transcripts that overlap between the tissues, as shown in (A). The 4 clusters, which are formed by the contribution of DEGs for all three tissues, are: (i) Ribosome/translation formed by Dhttip2 (B & L), Mrpl36 (SC & L), Mrpl14 (SC & L), Mrps21 (B & L), Rps4x (SC & L), Rpl34 (SC & L), Rps27rt (B & L) and Mettl17 (B & SC); (ii) RNA Splicing/transport: Ing4 (SC & L), Arid4b (B & L), Snrpa1 (SC & L), Stoml2 (B & L), Smn1 (B & SC), Ppie (SC & L) and Thoc7 (SC & L); (iii) DNA Replication: Mcm5 (B & L), Smc4 (B & L), Smc2 (SC & L), Tacc3 (SC & L); (iv) Extracellular matrix: Col1a1 (B & L), Col1a2 (B & L), Cdkn1a (SC & L) and Spp1 (B & SC). B stands for brain, SC for spinal cord and L for liver.
Article Snippet: Western blotting was performed using primary antibodies against Col1A1 (Proteintech 67288-1-Ig, 1:2500) and SMN (mouse anti-SMN, BD Biosciences 610647, 1:1,000).
