A Identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) specifically expressed in AKI-PTCs by the strategy of Supplemental Fig. S14A. The aim was to screen for DEGs specifically expressed in different etiologically induced AKI, which required limiting the expression of Control. B After excluding genes intersected with Control, the number of intersections of PTCs-DEGs for each model. C A total of 18 genes that were specifically highly expressed in PTCs of the AKI dataset were screened. Genes including Havcr1, C3, and Krt20 were identified in the unsupervised setting, which confirmed the reliability of the screening strategy. Kruskal–Wallis test, ****P < 0.0001 vs. PTCs group. D Expression of 18 DEGs in different models of PTCs. E Expression of 18 DEGs in seven different states of PTCs.
