Figure 4: Changes in total proteomes across 15 days after treatment with either DMSO, kenpaullone, or mevastatin.

(a) Relative protein abundances for DMSO, kenpaullone or mevastatin-treated cells were normalized to their respective Day 0 values. PCA of the normalized datasets shows the position of each sample on PC space. (b) Volcano plot for kenpaullone (left panel) and mevastatin (right panel) relative to DMSO. The x-coordinate of each point is the mean delta between the log2(fold-change) of a given protein under treatment (kenpaullone or mevastatin) and DMSO across days 7 to 15. The y-coordinate is the –log10(p-value) computed using single sample t-test on the delta log2(fold-change) values across days 7 to 15. Points marked in red are proteins for which the absolute mean delta log2(fold-change) value is above 2.5 and the p-value is below 0.05. (c) The normalized protein abundance values in log2 space plotted from day 0 to 15 for neuronal markers of interest. Black lines represent data from cells treated with DMSO, red with kenpaullone and blue with mevastatin.
