Figure Lengend Snippet: Protein interactions analysis and validation of hub genes. ( A – C ) General diagram of protein interactions analysis encoded by three groups of DEGs ( A ), Cluster 1 ( B ), and Cluster 2 ( C ) obtained according to the MCODE algorithm. ( D – H ) RT-qPCR was used to analyze the mRNA expression levels of hub genes Bgn ( D ), Ctsb ( E ), Lum ( F ), Serpine1 ( G ), and Tnfaip6 ( H ). ( I – N ) Western blot ( I ) was used to verify the protein expression levels of hub genes Bgn ( J ), Ctsb ( K ), Lum ( L ), Serpine1 ( M ), and Tnfaip6 ( N ). Statistical significance was indicated as * p ≤ 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01, *** p ≤ 0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Validation of key differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at mRNA and protein levels. A-B qRT-PCR validation of relative mRNA expression levels for selected genes (CEBPB, SERPINE1, S100A1, CKS1B, ADH1B, MYOM1, PTGFR, ACLY) in T-HESCs comparing AM vs. NC and CC vs. NC co-culture conditions. Expression normalized to GAPDH. C-D ELISA validation of protein concentrations for corresponding key molecules in cell culture supernatants, comparing AM vs. NC and CC vs. NC co-culture conditions. Data presented as mean ± SD or similar; significance indicated ( P < 0.05)
