Figure Lengend Snippet: Identification and validation of real hub genes associated with tumor grades. (A) The five common hub genes in both the co-expression network and protein-protein interaction network were regarded as real hub genes. (B) Expression levels of the five hub genes in 103 samples with different grades. (C) Expression levels of the five hub genes in the GSE56026 dataset with different grades. (D) Expression levels of the five hub genes in the GSE115810 dataset with different grades. (E) Five genes were expressed at a significantly higher in stage Ia, Ib and Ic compared with those in normal tissues; however, there was no significant difference in their expression among the stage Ia, Ib and Ic EC samples. (F) There was no significant difference in gene expression levels between endometrioid EC and papillary serous EC. (G) There was no correlation between gene expression levels and age of patients. *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001; ****P<0.0001.
