Figure Lengend Snippet: Sample–sample network graph of microarray data. Normalized expression data for the top up-and down-regulated genes ( P < 0.05, fold change ≥ 1.2) identified by microarray analysis were visualized using BioLayout Express 3D . Each node represents a different patient sample and edges are coloured to reflect the Pearson correlation that they represent. Red edges indicate high correlation, and blue edges represent low correlation. The same data set is used for each graph. ( A ) unbiased MCL cluster (MCLi = 20). ( B ) Nodes are coloured by gestation and labour status into our four sample groups: TNL ( n = 11), TL ( n = 9), PTNL ( n = 7) and PTL ( n = 8).

Article Title: Immune cell and transcriptomic analysis of the human decidua in term and preterm parturition

doi: 10.1093/molehr/gax038

Figure Lengend Snippet: QRT-PCR validations of gene expression changes in TL decidua samples. Decidual expression of selected genes identified as significantly elevated in TL in the microarray analysis was examined across our four sample groups by qRT-PCR [TNL ( n = 11), TL ( n = 9), PTNL ( n = 7) and PTL ( n = 10)]. ( A ) IL-6 expression, ( B ) PTGS2 expression, ( C ) IER3 expression, ( D ) TNFAIP3 expression and ( E ) ATF3 expression. Data are presented as mean fold change ± SEM. Data were analysed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc test. * P < 0.05, *** P < 0.001.

Decidual gene expression of selected genes identified as significantly elevated in PTL samples in the microarray analysis was examined across our four sample groups by qRT-PCR [TNL ( n = 11), TL ( n = 9), PTNL ( n = 7), PTL ( n = 10)]. ( A ) CXCL8 expression, ( B ) MARCO expression, ( C ) LILRA3 expression, ( D ) FGA expression, ( E ) FGB expression, ( F ) FGG expression, ( G ) PLAT expression and ( H ) PLAU expression.

Article Title: Sustained splenic contraction after daily cocaine administration in rats

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0252853

Figure Lengend Snippet: Total RNAs from spleen (day 7) were subjected to DNA microarray and subsequent gene ontology (GO) analysis. (A) A scatter plot analysis of transcripts that showed greater than 2-fold responses to cocaine. The data below the lower dotted line indicate a greater than 2-fold increase caused by cocaine. The data above the upper dotted line indicate a greater than 2-fold decrease caused by cocaine. (B) Molecular function categories (Gene Ontology terms, GO) identified by Microarray Data Analysis Tool as being affected by cocaine in the spleen. P-values were calculated by comparison to the control group.

Article Snippet: The results were deposited in the GEO database ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/ , accession number GSE167238) and analyzed using the Microarray Data Analysis Tool (Filgen Inc, Nagoya, Japan) and the DAVID functional annotation tool ( https://david.ncifcrf.gov/summary.jsp ).
