As shown in Figure 3(b), DEGs were significantly involved in many signaling pathways, for instance, chemokine and cytokine-related pathways (i.e., TNF, IL-17, chemokine, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction), T cell and B cell-related pathways (i.e., B cell receptor and Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation), NF-kappa B, and microbial infection-related pathways (i.e., Epstein-Barr virus infection and Staphylococcus aureus infection). Here, IL17A is linked to staphylococcus aureus infection.
