Patterns of gene expression after stroke in animal model. We distinguished two patterns of gene regulation, transiently upregulated (type B, expression recovered after the acute phase, green line) and “late-upregulated” (type C, expression went up after the acute phase; orange line). Please note that aged animals showed larger numbers of genes that were belatedly upregulated than the young animals. The young rats, in contrast, had a larger number of transiently upregulated including Cxcl1, S100a4, Runx3, Tgfbi, Vegfa, Vegfc.
