Visualization and module identification using two different PPI networks. (A) RRA-DEGs were mapped using Cytoscape software (genes mainly expressed in CD are indicated in blue, and genes mainly expressed in UC are indicated in orange). Using the MCODE plug-in, the module with the highest scores was identified (indicated in yellow). (B) The identified module comprised MMP1, MMP12, PLAU, MMP9, CXCL1, MMP10, PTGS2, TIMP1, and MMP7 (indicated in orange), with MMP3 as the seed gene (indicated in yellow). Functional enrichment analyses of the genes in the MMP-associated module were performed (C). (D) The intersection-DEGs were mapped using Cytoscape software (genes mainly expressed in CD are indicated in blue, and genes mainly expressed in UC are indicated in orange). Using the MCODE plug-in, the module with the highest scores was identified (indicated in yellow). (E) The identified module comprised MMP12, MMP10, MMP3, MMP9, TIMP1, CXCL1, PLAU, S100A9, CXCL13, S100A8, ANXA1 and S100A12 (indicated in orange), with MMP7 as the seed gene (indicated in yellow). Functional enrichment analyses of the genes in the MMP-associated module were performed (F).
