  1. Fold change by qPCR was obtained from the mean expressions of the tested genes in each group. All values represent fold changes between expression levels of the first group versus expression levels of the second group. Minus sign indicates down-regulation in the first group whereas positive sign indicates up-regulation in the first group. Housekeeping gene GAPDH was used as an internal control and the normalizer in qPCR.
  2. Genes in Italic font indicate the core genes detected by GSEA.
