Comparative Proteomic Investigation of Plasma Reveals Novel Potential Biomarker Groups for Acute Aortic Dissection

Figure 1

Heatmap and gene ontology classification of 37 differentially abundant proteins between AAD and normal controls. (a) The expression pattern of each protein in 3 pooled AAD patient samples (AAD 1–3) and 3 pooled normal control samples (control 1–3). The ID of the protein groups is listed on the right and the hierarchy cluster tree is shown on the left. Red boxes indicate higher expression level, blue indicates lower expression level, and yellow indicates the same expression level compared with the control. The gene ontology categories of biological process (b), cellular component (c), and molecular function (d). The GO ID and term for each section is indicated.
