Abstract

<p>Volcano plot of differentially regulated genes identified by Nanostring analysis. The Benjamini–Hockberg P-values are correlated to fold-changes in transcripts identified in diabetic samples (n = 11) versus non-diabetic controls (n = 11). The transcripts achieving the highest statistical significance (p value <0.05) are highlighted by the presence of the corresponding gene name. Significantly downregulated transcripts: HRAS, Ras oncogene family (p=0.009); GTF3C1, transcription factor of the TFIIIC complex (p=0.018); LAG3, key immune checkpoint for T cell modulation (p=0.023); BIRC5, survivin – modulator of programmed cell death (p=0.038); CXCL9 (p=0.038) and CXCL11 (p=0.048), two chemokines mediating inflammatory response; OAS3, interferon-induced enzyme (p=0.04). Significantly upregulated transcripts: IL22RA1, cytokine receptor (p=0.01); MME, transmembrane glycoprotein (p=0.02).</p>
