Figure 5. Krill oil rewires gene expression to promote neuron survival. (A) Heatmap from WGCNA analysis shows the correlation values between all of the found modules (gene groups) and defined parameters (krill oil treated, DA neuron survival, OCR and locomotion). The correlation ranges from +1 (completely positively correlated) to -1 (perfect negative correlation). (BE) Gprofiler plots with functionally enriched transcription factors indicated; (B) Representation of the modules (turquoise, white and saddlebrown) upregulated in day 1 PD animals. (C) Representation of the modules (red, pink and dark grey) downregulated in day 1 PD animals. (D) Representation of the modules (blue, tan, cyan, light cyan, violet, dark magenta, sienna) upregulated in day 3 PD animals. (E) Representation of the modules (magenta, purple, dark olive green, and yellow green) upregulated in day 6 PD animals.
