  1. IPA analysis was performed on up- and down-regulated transcripts (>|1.4|-fold and p < 0.05) as described in Fig. 2 and mapped to cellular and molecular signalling pathways. Z-score represents the predicted pathway activation (+) or inhibition. Significance values were calculated by a Fisher’s exact test (right-tailed) to determine the probability that a pathway was attributable to chance alone. Enriched pathways are shown, demonstrating opposing activation (18/1) and inhibition (90/5) for Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and Rac signalling (Fig. 3) important for neurite outgrowth.
