Figure 1.
Protein–protein interaction (PPI) network analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between PNI and non-PNI prostate cancer groups. Each node represents a protein encoded by a DEG, and each edge (lines connecting the nodes) represents a predicted protein–protein interaction. (A) The most significant module within the PPI network, identified using the MCODE Cytoscape (v3.10.3). Top-ranked hub genes identified using CytoHubba ranking algorithms: degree (B), closeness (C), and betweenness (D). (E) Venn diagram showing the intersection of hub genes identified by MCODE and all three CytoHubba algorithms, yielding 12 overlapping hub genes.
