A Principle description of the work procedure used to study the “IL-17A/CTSK” axis in CRPC. The expression profiles data of various types of prostate cancer (#GSE70770, GSE32982 and GSE32269). B Heatmap of 23 up-regulated genes and 85 down-regulated genes mined from GSE70770, GSE32982 and GSE32269. The lower bar shows different groups, the pink one represents the group of CRPC and the orange red one represents the group of localized PC. C The bar chart shows KEGG pathway enrichment data for DEGs. Pink represents up-regulated pathways and blue represents down-regulated pathways. D Circle diagram was adopted for further exploration to clarify the expression genes involved in the three significantly up-regulated pathways. E Estimate the therapeutic values of CTSK by analyzing the ROC curve (p < 0.001).
