Analysis of differential immune-related genes (IRGs) in the control and IPF groups (A) The intersection of DEGs in IPF and control samples and IRGs. (B) Interaction network diagram of the Top10 hub nodes in the PPI map of differentially expressed IRGs. (C) Core subnetwork of PPI network, Cluster 1 (Score 11). (D) Core subnetwork of PPI network, Cluster 2 (Score 5.6). (E) Core subnetwork of PPI network, Cluster 3 (Score 5.333). DEG differentially expressed genes, IRGs immune-related genes.
