Fig. 6From: Establishment and validation of the autophagy-related ceRNA network in irreversible pulpitisConstruction of ceRNA networks. A Downregulated lncRNA-related ceRNA networks. B Upregulated lncRNA-related ceRNA networks. C Hub nodes of ceRNAs in downregulated group by MCC method (lncRNA: rhombus, mRNA: circle, miRNA: triangle). D Hub nodes of ceRNAs in upregulated group by MCC method (lncRNA: rhombus, mRNA: circle, miRNA: triangle). E Boxplot of the expression levels of 7 hub downregulated lncRNAs selected from the microarray dataset. F Boxplot of the expression levels of 2 hub upregulated lncRNAs selected from the microarray dataset. G Gene expression levels in human pulp tissues evaluated by qRT‒PCR (n = 5), * P < 0.05Back to article page
