Supplementary Figure 1: Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of differentially regulated genes. Up-regulated gene ontology enrichment terms in brains for ApoE3 male, ApoE3 female, ApoE4 male, and ApoE4 female mice. The blue dotted line represents -log10(FDR) = 1.3. n = 3 in each group.
Supplementary Figure 2: The basal expression levels of transporters in brains and livers across different mice groups. (A) ATP-binding cassette (Abc) family. (B) Organic anion transporting polypeptide (Oatp/Slco) family. (C) The remaining solute carrier (Slc) superfamily except SLCO family. (D) The remaining ATPase superfamily except Abc transporters. n = 3 in each group. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, and compared between brain and liver in each group. **p<0.005;
***p<0.001.Supplementary Figure 3: RT-qPCR of selected genes in livers of male and female ApoE3 and ApoE4 mice following exposure to vehicle and Cd treatment. Data are expressed as % of the house keeping gene. (n=4-5/sex/genotype/exposure) were analyzed using three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) considering the effects of sex ($), genotype (#), and exposure (*).
