Gene expression in the cerebral cortex of 3 month-old mice of the indicated genotypes. qPCR analysis of genes preventing processing, accumulation and toxicity of Aβ (a); genes not detected by RNA-seq that are involved in Aβ aggregation and processing (b); genes involved in the PACAP signaling pathway (c), Thbs4, which regulates neurite outgrowth and synapse formation (d); Irs2, which regulates insulin signaling (e); genes involved in oxidative stress regulation (f); genes involved in vascular integrity (g); and brain welfare markers (h). Relative gene expression was normalized to Rps18 rRNA levels and expressed as 2ΔCt (obtained values were adjusted by the factor indicated between brackets). WT/EGFP (5 females), WT/E2F4DN (3 males and 3 females), 5xFAD/EGFP (5 females), and 5xFAD/E2F4DN (4 females). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 (Unbalanced two-way ANOVA, followed by post hoc Student’s t test)
