Figure 7 Classification of DEGs by GO annotation. The 3 categories were
BP, CC, and MF.
Olfactory and chemosensory-related DEGs and olfactory
transduction pathway
As shown in Table 2, 22 identified DEGs were related to olfactory and
chemosensory functions. On comparing the MP and NMP groups, 9 DEGs were
found to be downregulated, while 13 were upregulated, including 4 IRs or
iGluRs, 8 G-protein coupled receptors, 5 transient receptor potential
channels (TRP channels), 1 sodium-calcium exchanger, 1 olfactory
receptor, 1 isomerase, and 2 chemosensory proteins (CSPs). In addition,
the 9 sensory-related pathways and the number of DEGs are shown in Table
3.
