Full-length mHTT disturbed the striatal transcriptome. (a) Schematic diagram of six experimental groups in a 2 × 3 factorial design based on two genotypes (WT, TG) and three environmental conditions (SE, EE, MS) that was used to reveal effects of environmental enrichment and maternal separation on the striatal transcriptome of 2-month-old WT and BACHD rats. Gene expression (t) was modelled as a function of genotype (g), environment (e), and their interaction (g × e). (b) Composition and expression level of rat and human HTT splice variants in the striatum of 2-month-old rats with respect to genotype and environmental condition. (c) Diagram showing number of differentially expressed genes between main comparisons in the factorial design. (d) Venn diagram showing overlaps of differentially expressed genes between BACHD and WT animals in each of the tested environmental conditions. (e) Heatmap of hierarchically clustered z-scores across all experimental groups for differentially expressed genes that were identified in comparing TGSE/WTSE, TGEE/WTEE, and TGMS/WTMS. (f) Overrepresented Gene Ontology terms of merged differentially expressed genes in TGSE/WTSE, TGEE/WTEE, and TGMS/WTMS.
