Fig. 4 Experimental design for exploratory RNA-seq. Head dissections of PFOS (0.88μM, 1.57μM, 2.8μM) or PFHxS (7.87μM, 14μM, 25.1μM)-exposed larvae were conducted on 4–5 dpf for RNA-seq with five biological replicates per condition. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were used for functional enrichment analysis using ToxNodes in SOM-format, calculation of transcriptomic benchmark concentrations (BMCT), and upstream regulator predictions via an Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Note: dpf, days postfertilization; PFHxS, perfluorohexanesulfonic acid; PFOS, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid; RNA-seq, RNA sequencing; SOM, self-organizing map.
