Fig. 3: Mac-ADSCs influence wild-type cells through paracrine signaling.

A Venn diagram showing overlap between the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and the genes encoding secretory proteins in Mac-ADSCs versus Pol-ADSCs. B Heat map of DEGs encoding secretory proteins, with color-coded expression levels. C GO/KEGG pathway analysis of DEGs that encode secretory proteins. D Human cytokine antibody arrays detecting cytokines in the supernatant of Pol-ADSCs (left) and Mac-ADSCs (right). Boxes highlight cytokines with significant differential expression. E Heat map showing the intensities of the dots representing the differentially expressed cytokines (data presented as grayscale values in each group).
