FIGURE 3.
Top-regulated genes and pathways in the acute and postacute stage post-stroke after DESEQ2 normalization. (A) Z-score of top 25 up- and top 25 downregulated genes in the ipsilateral hemisphere of tMCAO- versus sham-operated animals 24 h post-surgery and gene set enrichment within the identified genes. (B) Z-score of top 25 up- and top 25 downregulated genes in the ipsilateral hemisphere of tMCAO- versus sham-operated animals 7 days post-surgery and gene set enrichment within the identified genes. Transcripts accepted as regulated: mean > 5 counts, log2fc <> ±0.585, FDR ≤ 0.05. Exemplary genes and gene sets are highlighted (arrows).
