Fig. 2From: Exploring the novel duo of Reticulocalbin, and Sideroflexin as future biomarker candidates for Exacerbated Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseDifferential expression of proteins in stable and excaerbated COPD with respect to healthy controls: (a) Venn diagram showing the unique and common differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) upregulated in stable and exacerbated COPD with respect to healthy controls. 40 DEPs were commonly up-regulated in stable and excaerbated variants with respect to HC, whereas 13 proteins in stable and 16 proteins in exacerbated COPD were uniquely up-regulated. (b) Venn diagram showing the unique and common differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) downregulated in stable and exacerbated COPD with respect to healthy controls. 8 DEPs were commonly downregulated in the COPD variants, whereas 7 proteins in stable and 1 protein in exacerbated COPD were uniquely down-regulated. (c) Volcano plot showing the DEPs obtained in stable and exacerbated COPD with respect to control. Upon filtering based on corrected p-value based on FDR, 68 DEPs in stable and 65 proteins in excaerbated COPD showed statistical significance and were taken for further analysisBack to article page
