Nine Genes Mediate the Therapeutic Effects of Iodine-131 Radiotherapy in Thyroid Carcinoma Patients

Figure 8

The relative mRNA expression of the hub genes. The heatmap (a) showed the relative mRNA expression of nine genes including CDH5, KDR, CD34, FLT4, EMCN, FLT1, ROBO4, PTPRB, and CD93 in THCA tissues that are treated with or without I131. The color scale at the top right represents the relative expression of mRNA. The histogram (b) showed that the relative expression of nine mRNAs in the THCA treated with I131 group was lower than that in the THCA treated without I131 group, and the differences were statistically significant ( represents , independent sample -test).
