Fig. 4From: Dietary phytochemicals modulate skin gene expression profiles and result in reduced lice counts after experimental infection in Atlantic salmonRelative gene expression analysed by qPCR and microarray (MA) in skin behind dorsal fin from four groups of L. salmonis-infected Atlantic salmon fed different diets; not-infected high dose (NI-HD), infected control (I-C), infected low dose (I-LD) and infected high dose (I-HD). Relative gene expression is presented as ± fold difference. Bars represent mean fold ± SEM compared to not-infected control fish, NI-C. Number of fish in each qPCR group is 9 and 5 in MA analysis. One-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Tukey’s multiple comparisons tests was performed between groups and control. Asterisks above bars denote significant differences between groups and control: ****P < 0.0001; ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05. Joined brackets show significant differences between experimental groups. The average correlation coefficient between MA and qPCR data was 0.8. a Relative gene expression of barrier-to-autointegration factor 1 (BANF), CXCL10, leukocyte cell derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2), Zymogen granule membrane protein 16 (ZG16) and Cathelicidin-derived antimicrobial peptide 2 (Cathelicidin) . b Relative gene expression analysed by qPCR of interleukin 4/13 (IL4/13), interleukin 17A (IL17A), interleukin 8 (IL8), and interferon gamma (IFNγ). c Relative gene expression analysed by qPCR of complement C3 (C3) and myeloperoxidase (MPO)Back to article page
