Figure 7.

Changes in the protein profile in placental exosomes present in maternal circulation across gestation in preterm birth compared with normal pregnancies. Linear mixed modeling of all statistically significant proteins that change across normal pregnancy compared with preterm birth (PTB). Linear mixed modeling in normalized protein abundance was performed on the all statistically significant proteins (P < 0.05) that change across gestation for normal pregnancy compared with PTB, using the lme4 package in R. The data were scaled between 0 and 1 before hierarchical clustering analysis using Euclidean distance, which is displayed as a circular cladogram (generated using the ggtree package in R). Each color of the circular cladogram represents a different cluster and its trend, as shown in (A) through (N).
