Fig. 6.

Differential gene expression of the two EC clusters. (a) Violin plots. Three functional gene groups are included, 19 angiogensis-related genes (Left), 13 inflammation-related genes (Middle) and 12 ECM remodeling genes (Right) of cluster A (green) and cluster B (Red). The gene name is indicated on top of each violin plot and the value on Y-axle represents the gene expression level in the binary logarithm (log₂) value. (b) Bar graph shows the magnitude of differential gene expression by fold change of the binary logarithm (log₂) value in cluster B relative to A (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001). Gene symbols are used in the figures and corresponding gene names can be found in Table 2.
