Figure 4. BKVN was associated with increased expression of immune-related genes. (A) The expression of CYT-related genes in the PB (STA and BKV), TKB1 (STA and BKVN) and TKB2 (STA and BKVN) datasets. (B) The expression of APP-related genes in the PB (STA and BKV), TKB1 (STA and BKVN) and TKB2 (STA and BKVN) datasets. (C) The expression of proinflammatory-related genes in the PB (STA and BKV), TKB1 (STA and BKVN) and TKB2 (STA and BKVN) datasets. The thick line represents the median value. The bottom and top of the boxes indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles (interquartile range). The whiskers encompass 1.5 times the interquartile range. *, P< 0.05; **, P< 0.01; ***, P< 0.001; and ****, P<0.0001; Mann-Whitney U test.
