Protein-protein interaction analysis on DEGs at maternal-fetal interface. PPI network of DSC-DEGs (A), placenta-DEGs (B) and macrophages polarization DEGs (C). The PPI network of hub genes (D), in which the diamonds, the rectangles and the “V”-shape nodes represented hub genes from DSC-DEGs, from macrophages polarization DEGs, and from placenta-DEGs, respectively. The functions of the hub proteins were predicted by the GeneMANIA plug-in in Cytoscape (E). The qRT-PCR results of DSC-DEGs (F), placenta-DEGs (G) and macrophages polarization DEGs (H). * represents P<0.05, **represents P<0.01, compared with the control group.
