Identification and validation of the hub gene. (a) PTGS2 was identified by ten algorithms. (b) Molecular docking analysis of berberine binding to PTGS2. (c) Molecular docking analysis of eicosapentaenoic acid binding to PTGS2. The left side presents the 3D surface structure of the PTGS2 receptor and small molecular ligand. The right side presents the binding pattern of the small molecular ligand to the PTGS2 protein.
