Fig. 4From: Screening of immune-related secretory proteins linking chronic kidney disease with calcific aortic valve disease based on comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and machine learning Identification of CKD-associated secretory proteins through differential expression analysis on secretory proteins in PMBC and kidney tissues of CKD. A The volcano plot revealing DEGs in the CKD-PMBC dataset. B The heatmap representing the top 30 upregulated and 30 downregulated DEGs in the CKD-PBMC dataset. C The volcano plot displaying DEGs in the CKD-Kidney dataset. D The heatmap displaying the top 30 upregulated and 30 downregulated DEGs in the CKD-Kidney dataset. E The intersection of CKD-PMBC DEGs with genes coding secretory proteins via the venn diagram. F The intersection of CKD-Kidney DEGs with genes coding secretory proteins via the venn diagram, and altogether 983 CKD-associated secretory proteins were identified.
