Effects of Cardiac Sympathetic Neurodegeneration and PPARγ Activation on Rhesus Macaque Whole Blood miRNA and mRNA Expression Profiles

Figure 3

Principal components analysis (PCA) plots showing unsupervised assessment of all 30 samples. Data points are colored by (a) experimental group or (b) individual subject. Note that samples cluster based on subject (b) but are spread out in treatment groups (a). The PCA was performed on all samples using the 50 miRNAs with the largest coefficient of variation based on TMM-normalized counts. Each circle represents one sample. 1wk, 1 week post-6-OHDA; 12wk, 12 weeks post-6-OHDA.
