Figure 3

Shown are the changes in median pathway expression (gene set) between ARDS survivors and non-survivors for specifically identified pathways including HDAC (A), TGFβ (B), IL-6 (C), Chromatin (D), sumoylation (E), and TP53 (F). Each line represents the gene expression of a pathway gene. The color of the line represented the cluster of the pattern, a line within the same group with the same color means the patterns of change for those genes are similar. For example, in the TGF-β signaling pathway, the gene expression change was homogeneous in the survivor group (all blue) while two clusters of patterns existed in the non-survivor group (blue and red). The adjusted p-value represented the significance of those patterns changes between groups. The color reflects the pattern of the gene expression change within that specific pathway and group (not use to compare groups or pathways). The red only lines in the HDAC pathway indicate non-survivor and survivor gene pattern change have only one pattern whereas in the TGFβ pathway non-survivors have two patterns (red and blue) but survivors only one pattern.
