Identification of Key Genes of Human Advanced Diabetic Nephropathy Independent of Proteinuria by Transcriptome Analysis

Figure 1

Identification of DEGs in DN compared with healthy controls, proteinuric controls including MCD and MN. Venn diagrams showing the shared glomerular (a) and tubulointerstitial (b) DEGs. Heatmaps of DEGs in glomerular (c) and tubulointerstitial (d) compartments. Red areas represent highly expressed genes, and blue areas represent lowly expressed genes of DN patients compared with those of healthy and disease controls. DEGs: differentially expressed genes; DN: diabetic nephropathy; MN: membranous nephropathy; MCD: minimal change disease; H: healthy controls; vs: versus.
