Effects of restraint stress on the DNA repair transcriptome and SASP transcriptome in mouse bone marrow cells.
(a) Five-number summary box plot of composite scores of the DNA repair transcriptome (winsorized at 90/10th percentile) in bone marrow cells of mice randomized to Control (n = 10), Restraint (n = 10), or Propranolol (Prop) + Restraint (n = 6) conditions on a log2 scale centered at zero. Reference set for DNA repair genes was bioinformatically identified and empirically validated by Collin et al. (2018). Heatmap of mean fold-changes for distinct DNA repair genes in Restraint and Prop + Restraint vs. Control group on log2 scale. (b) Box plot as in (a) of composite scores of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) transcriptome (winsorized at 90/10th percentile) and heatmap of mean fold-changes for distinct SASP genes. ∗p < .05, ∗∗p < .01, ∗∗∗p < .001 vs. Control.
