Co-occurring differentially expressed genes among transgenic mouse mammary models. Eighty-nine genes were identified as modulated in more than one transgenic mice model. A. Heat map of the 89 deregulated transcripts. Color scale at the bottom depicts the approximate fold change in expression for each transcript and library relative to control mammary gland. Negative fold change (transcripts with decreased expression in bexarotene treated animals) is represented in green, and positive fold change (transcripts with overexpression in bexarotene treated mice) is represented in red. B. Statistical comparison between MMTV-erbB2 vs. p53-null and MMTV-erbB2 vs. C3(1)/SV40 T-antigen transgenic mice models showing a highly significant number of overlapping genes (p < 0.001). The number of overlapping genes between p53-null and C3(1) SV40 models it is not statistical significant (p > 0.05).
