Sex-related transcriptional differences in the ipsilateral DHSC following formalin administration. (a) Illustration of the experimental design for RNA-Seq preformed on the dorsal horn of the spinal cord (DHSC) of males (n = 6) and females (n = 12, including n = 6 F1/proestrus and n = 6 F2/metestrus) following formalin injection. (b) Volcano-plot representation of the RNA-Seq identified DEG between males and females (FDR5). For a matter of representation, the following DEG were not represented on the volcano plot: Xist, Tsix, Gm2223 for females and Kdm5d, Eif2s3y, Uty, Ddx3y for males. (c) Metascape functional enrichment of transcripts enriched in males and those enriched in females. (d) IPA disease and function prediction showing clusters of male-enriched transcripts associated with immune response.
