(a) 41 candidate targets obtained from network of “protein-protein” interaction (PPI), including three key targets TNF (degree = 34), VEGFA (degree = 33), and AKT1 (degree = 31). The color of the nodes is shown in a gradient from to red to transparent according to the degree value. (b) 13 DEGs contained in 41 candidate targets, the red bars represents11 upregulated genes (log C 1), and the green bars represents 2 upregulated genes (log FC < −1).
