Transcriptome Profiling of IL-17A Preactivated Mesenchymal Stem Cells: A Comparative Study to Unmodified and IFN-γ Modified Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Figure 2

Volcano plots to identify changes in gene expression between (a) MSC-17 versus UT-MSC, (b) MSC-γ versus UT-MSC, and (c) MSC-17 versus MSC-γ. Axes of these plots represent significance (−10 log10   value of the ANOVA values; -axes) versus fold changes (linear fold change from condition pairing; -axes). Red colour indicates upregulated genes and the green represents downregulated genes. The grey region indicates genes that were not differentially expressed and not statistically significant.
