KEGG pathway analysis highlighted a strong involvement of these DEGs in the interleukin 17 (IL-17) signaling pathway, the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway, the transcriptional misregulation in cancer, the rheumatoid arthritis and other pathways (Figures 2B,C) (Supplementary Table 7). This evidence concerns the gene IL17A and rheumatoid arthritis.
