Platelet activation relieves liver portal hypertension via the lymphatic system though the classical vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 signaling pathway

Figure 4 Twelve core differentially expressed genes in the bile duct ligation lymphatic system and their related biological processes. A: Heatmap of 12 core differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the lymphatic system between the bile duct ligation (BDL) and control groups; B: Volcano map of core DEGs in the lymphatic system between the BDL and control groups; C: Protein-protein interaction network between the DEGs and the 12 core DEGs; D: Co-expression of these core DEGs; E: Bar plot of the gene ontology enrichment of the core DEGs. BDL: Bile duct ligation; BP: Biological process; CC: Cellular component; Con: Control; MF: Molecular function.
