Figure 6. Network and pathway analyses of common DEGs in the lung tissues of CTD-ILD patients. Network and pathways were performed on the dataset from CTD-ILD patients compared to non-demented controls to identify unique dysregulated pathways in the lung tissues of CTD-ILD. (A, B) Network analysis of up-regulated genes and down-regulated genes. Most significant hub genes, according to degree and betweenness centrality, with the highest number of connections, are enclosed in ovals. (C, D) Function enrichment analysis of the up-regulated and down-regulated common DEGs, where the horizontal axis represents the proportion of DEGs under the functional terms. Top 5 pathways with most significant P-value were shown and ordered by gene ratio.
