Fig. 4: RNA-sequencing of renal NLRP3 signaling following AKI.

a Heatmap of 1417 DEGs screened by limma package. Red areas represent highly expressed genes and blue areas represent lowly expressed genes in 2 or 4 weeks post-IRI group, compared with sham controls. b Volcano plot analysis identifies DEGs. Red dots represent upregulated genes and green dots represent downregulated genes in 2 or 4 weeks post-IRI group, compared with sham controls. c The expression of NLRP3 signaling-associated genes NLRP3 signaling-associated genes in sham control or IRI groups. DEG differentially expressed gene, IRI Ischemia/reperfusion injury.
