Analyses of Long Noncoding RNA and mRNA Profiles in Subjects with the Phlegm-Dampness Constitution

Figure 3

Target gene prediction of differentially expressed lncRNAs between PDC and BC. (a) The differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs from Figure 2 were constructed into the coding-noncoding gene network (). Red represents upregulated and blue represents downregulated genes. Size represents the importance of a node (degree). The edge denotes the interaction strength. Circles and inverted triangles represent genes and lncRNAs, respectively. (b) Distances between lncRNAs and their predicted target genes (<300 kb). The left vertical axis shows the gene symbol of the coding genes, on the right side of each row, that is, the corresponding gene symbol of lncRNA. The pathways of these mRNAs might mainly be related to lipid metabolism.
