Different gene expression in mouse heart tissue following ¹⁴Si irradiation: (A) bar graphs showing differentially expressed genes in mouse heart tissue after exposure to different ¹⁴Si (Si, silicon) doses and (B) Venn diagram depicting the number of differentially expressed genes in mouse hearts across different doses of ¹⁴Si irradiation exposure. Colors in the diagram represent genes putatively affected by the following ¹⁴Si dose exposure: blue circles correspond to 4 cGy, green circles to 8 cGy, yellow circles to 16 cGy, and purple circles to 32 cGy. (C) Table depicting the number of up- and downregulated genes at different ¹⁴Si-IR doses in the heart tissue and (D–F) heat maps showing differentially expressed genes at different ¹⁴Si-IR oses. Relative expression values are indicated on the color key and increase in value from blue to red (n = 5/group).
