Correlation Network Analysis Reveals Relationships between MicroRNAs, Transcription Factor T-bet, and Deregulated Cytokine/Chemokine-Receptor Network in Pulmonary Sarcoidosis

Figure 5

A weighted gene coexpression network analysis of miRNA-mRNA-T-bet relationships in BAL cells obtained from (a) sarcoidosis patients and their subgroups with (b) progressing and (c) regressing disease and from (d) control subjects. The studied molecules are represented as vertices (spheres), where larger vertices in the network have more nearest neighbors than smaller ones. Only edges connecting the nearest neighbors (pairs with the highest correlations) were preserved.
