(A) Volcano plots illustrating genes with significantly down- (blue) or up-regulated (red) expression in the Mrgpra2 dKO (left) or Def cKO (right) infected skin compared to WT. Boxed areas in the upper-left corners were magnified to show the most significantly down-regulated genes in detail.
(B) FPKMs of key pro-inflammatory genes in WT, Mrgpra2 dKO and Def cKO naïve and S. aureus-infected skin. n=6
(C) Top altered Ingenuity gene ontology pathways in Mrgpra2 dKO (top) and Def cKO (bottom) S. aureus infected skin.
(D) Heat maps depicting FPKM of neutrophil-associated genes and genes related to granulocyte adhesion and diapedesis.
Results are presented as mean ± SEM from one experiment. ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001, *****p < 0.00001, n.s. not significant by one-way ANOVA.
