Figure 6. Gene expression rewiring promotes dopaminergic neuron survival during aging. (A) Representative images of the head region of PD animals at day 6 adulthood in control and krill oil treated animals following knockdown of jnk-1, skn-1, hmg-5 and lmd-3 by RNAi, Scale bar, 20 μm. Time series plot for same genes are show on top. The scatter dot plots represent GFP intensity of the CEPs dopaminergic neurons in day 6 PD nematodes following knockdown of jnk-1, skn-1, hmg-5 and lmd-3 (n = 20 individuals; Error bars, s.e.m; ***p < 0.001; one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test). (B) representative images and scatter dot plots represents intensity of the dopaminergic neurons after depleting cnnm-3, pbo-2 and rim-1 in PD animals (n = 14 individuals, Scale bar, 20 μm Error bars, s.e.m; ***p < 0.001; one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test), co-related with time series plot for same genes.
