Supplementary file 1

List of genes for which the whole-striatum gene deregulation in Hdh model mice is assigned to a specific cell type with false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.1.

Cellular assignments are based on matching whole-striatum gene expression dysregulation curves to cell-type-specific gene expression dysregulation curves in the striatum of Hdh model mice at 6 months of age using the cost distance, after linear interpolation (see Figure 1: step 1). Data are shown for each cell type with indication of p-values and FDR values.

Supplementary file 2

List of genes recruited in the clusters of gene deregulation surfaces and their centroids.

Data are shown for each striatal cell type in Hdh model mice. Top biological annotations (KEGG pathways and gene ontology biological processes upon STRING database analysis; see Materials and methods) are also indicated for each gene deregulation surface cluster and each cell type.

Supplementary file 3

List of genes underlying the molecular responses defined by the integration of cluster centroid data and in vivo functional data in the striatum of Hdh model mice.

Data are shown for compensatory responses and for pathogenic responses, with indication of the evolution (increased then maintained, increased then reduced, transition) over time. The three columns labeled ‘Information on cellular assignment’ provides the cell type(s) to which gene deregulation in the whole striatum at 6 months is attributed, the weighted distance between whole-striatum and cell-type-specific log-fold-change (LFC) curves, and the false discovery rate (FDR) for the cellular assignments of gene deregulation. The six columns labeled ‘Information on molecular response in Q175 mice’ provide information on the functional effect of shRNA treatment (p-value and rank), the identity number of the gene deregulation surface (GDS) centroid to which the gene belongs, temporal subtype of molecular response, strength of mitigation (if applicable), and maximum deregulation of gene expression across age points.
