Figure 1. DEGs associated with aging in COPD patients. (A) Volcano-plot of the 244 age-associated DEGs in COPD patients. Red circle: upregulated genes; blue circles: downregulated genes. (B) Top 10 GO biological processes analysis of the 244 age-associated DEGs. Outer gray circle: a scatter plot for each term of the logFC of the assigned genes; red circles: upregulated genes; blue circles: downregulated genes. (C) All GO cellular components analysis of the 244 age-associated DEGs. (D) Top 11 GO molecular functions analysis of the 244 age-associated DEGs. (E) Top 7 significantly (P<0.05) enriched KEGG pathways. DEGs, differently expressed genes; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; GO, gene ontology; FC, fold change; KEGG, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes.
