Gene Expression Profiles of Peripheral Blood Monocytes in Osteoarthritis and Analysis of Differentially Expressed Genes

Figure 2

The map of DEG interaction relationship. Red nodes indicate upregulated genes, and blue nodes indicate downregulated genes. The larger the area of the node, the more important the gene in the network. The interaction relationship between genes is expressed by a connection line. The solid line without arrow indicates the interaction between DEGs is not directional, otherwise is directional. The beginning of arrow is the upstream gene, and the end of arrow is the downstream gene. The dashed line with arrow indicates the indirect interaction relationship. The solid line with flat head indicates the inhibitory interaction. The letters on the connection line are abbreviated as the type of interaction. c, compound; a, active; ind, indirect; inh, inhibition.
