a Number of identified differentially expressed genes in immortalized mouse hepatocytes with Mfap4 knockdown and immortalized human hepatocytes with MFAP4 knockdown. b Filtered DEG from (a) with logFC >1 or logFC < −1 showed 108 overlapping genes between mouse and human. c Among 108 overlapped genes, 25 genes were upregulated, 83 genes were downregulated. d Heatmap showed overlapping up- and downregulated genes. e Pathway analysis of overlapping DEG highlights the Reelin signaling pathway, IL-5 regulation of apoptosis, and the BDNF signaling pathway. f Validation of upregulated genes indicated by pathway analysis (qPCR). g Proposed mechanism of action upon Mfap4 knockdown.
