Figure 4. Expression analysis of genes involved in apoptosis and mitotic spindle formation in C. helgolandicus.

Figure 4

Changes in expression levels of Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Regulatory 1 Protein (CARP), Cellular Apoptosis Susceptibility Protein (CAS), Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein (IAP), and Alpha and Beta tubulins (ATUB and BTUB) genes in C. helgolandicus fed either unialgal diets of Skeletonema marinoi (S. marinoi) or Chaetoceros socialis (C. socialis) compared to expression levels in females fed on the control Rhodomonas baltica (represented in the figure by x-axis) (*** with p value<0.001, students't-test, GraphPad Software). The ribosomal protein S20 was used as reference gene to normalize the data.
