The global topological features of CVD-related ceRNA networks. We selected topological features of a ceRNA network (GSE17800) as a sample and shown in Figure A–F. (A) Degree distributions of the ceRNA network. (B) CeRNAs with high degrees were strongly co-expressed than others. (C) CeRNA pairs shared more miRNAs were strongly co-expressed than others. (D) CeRNA pairs with high degrees were strongly co-expressed than others. (E) CeRNAs were likely to involve in small communities. (F) CeRNA cross-talks preferred co-express in low Dicer expression groups.
