Gene expression profile comparisons regarding the cellular component. Graphs describe co–differentially upregulated genes (A) or downregulated genes (B) in the cellular component of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including stable COPD and acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD), as compared to healthy control subjects. Also shown are co–differentially expressed upregulated genes (C) or downregulated genes (D) from patients with AECOPD, as compared to both patients with stable COPD and healthy control subjects.
