Proteomic changes in response to ischemia and CAC treatment. a Functional classification of identified proteins based on Gene Ontology Database (via ProteomeDiscoverer). b Volcano plots obtained after label free quantification, comparing protein levels in SE and SC, on days 2 and 4. Cut-off limits: p value < 0.05 and ratios for upregulated (> 1.5) or downregulated (< 0.6) proteins. Color legends: upregulated () or downregulated () proteins, no significant changes (). c Principal component analysis (PCA) graph distributed groups (SE, SC, SH, and C) mainly between controls and ischemic mice, but also per time (controls, day 2 and day 4). d Venn’s diagram showing the overlapping of proteins differently expressed between SC and SH and also between SE/SC on both days analyzed. e Number of proteins upregulated (red) and downregulated (green) by ischemia (SC/SH) and in response to CAC treatment (SE/SC) per day. f Validation by WB of proteomic results. As an example, the results seen for ApoE are shown. Apo-E was upregulated in SC and SE mice compared to controls
