RNA-seq data analysis and the differentially expressed genes between the RA and Con groups. (A) Venn diagram of RNA-seq data displaying the common and unique genes between the RA and Con groups. (B) Volcano plots showing the differentially expressed genes in RA PBMCs compared with those in the Con group. (C) Heatmap plots displaying the differentially expressed genes in RA PBMCs vs. those in the Con group. RA, rheumatoid arthritis; Con, control group; and PBMCs, peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
