Integrated Analyses of lncRNA and mRNA Profiles Reveal Characteristic and Functional Changes of Leukocytes in Qi-Deficiency Constitution and Pi-Qi-Deficiency Syndrome of Chronic Superficial Gastritis

Figure 1

Expression profile analyses of differential genes and lncRNAs in leukocytes of individuals from different populations. (a) Venn diagram of the differential genes and lncRNAs identified in the two case populations. (b) Hierarchical clustering (HCL) analysis for expression profiles of all the differential genes. (c) HCL analysis for expression profiles of all the differential lncRNAs. (d) HCL heatmap generated for expression patterns of the common differential genes. (e) HCL analysis for expression patterns of the common differential lncRNAs. Control: balanced constitution; case 1: qi-deficiency constitution; case 2: chronic superficial gastritis patients with Pi-qi-deficiency syndrome.
