Figure 5. The protein–protein interaction network of DEGs and three cluster modules selected by MCODE.

Figure 5

(A) The PPI network consists of 65 nodes and 183 edges. Protein represented by node and protein–protein association represented by edge. Non-blue nodes are the 20 hub genes screened by cytoHubba plug-in. MCODE extracted three cluster modules. Cluster 1 (B) has the highest cluster score (score: 10.8, 11 nodes and 54 edges), followed by cluster 2 (C) (score: 5, five nodes and 10 edges), and then cluster 3 (D) (score: 5, five nodes and 10 edges).
