(A and B) Analysis of immune cell distribution in sciatica patients and healthy individuals using Cibersort (A) and ssGSEA algorithms (B).

(C and D) Comparison of the correlation between immune cells and NADK2 gene expression in the two methods.

(E) UMAP (uniform manifold approximation and projection) visualization of single-cell RNA sequencing dataset from blood in DISCO database.

(F and G) UMAP plot and histogram plot illustrating expression of NADK2 across all cell types in blood. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
