Investigation of the Mechanism of Complement System in Diabetic Nephropathy via Bioinformatics Analysis

Figure 9

The different expressions of complement cascade-related hub genes (C1QA, C1QB, C3, CFB, ITGB2, VSIG4, and CLU) in DN renal tissues and healthy kidney tissues. (a) The expression of C1QA in DN renal tissues is higher than in healthy kidney tissues. (b) The expression of C1QB in DN renal tissues is higher than in healthy kidney tissues. (c) The expression of C3 in DN renal tissues is higher than in healthy kidney tissues. (d) The expression of CFB in DN renal tissues is higher than in healthy kidney tissues. (e) The expression of ITGB2 in DN renal tissues is higher than in healthy kidney tissues. (f) The expression of VSIG4 in DN renal tissues is higher than in healthy kidney tissues. (g) The expression of CLU in DN renal tissues is higher than in healthy kidney tissues.
