Common dysregulated genes shared by CRSwNP + AS and CRSwNP-alone. Nasal tissue samples of CRSwNP + AS (n = 10), CRSwNP-alone (n = 10), and control (n = 9) were analysed by whole-transcriptome sequencing. a Venn diagrams depicting DE-mRNAs of CRSwNP + AS versus control and CRSwNP-alone versus control. The number of DE-mRNAs is marked in the corresponding areas. b The 1988 common DE-mRNAs shared by CRSwNP + AS versus control and CRSwNP-alone versus control were assessed by pathway enrichment analyses using Enrichr. Top 15 significantly enriched KEGG pathways (blue columns) and top 5 significantly enriched BioCarta pathways (turquoise columns) are depicted. P < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. c Venn diagrams depicting DE-lncRNAs of CRSwNP + AS versus control and CRSwNP-alone versus control. d, e The 176 common DE-lncRNAs shared by CRSwNP + AS versus control and CRSwNP-alone versus control were assessed for expression based modules identified by weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) and for their potential functions, based on a coexpression network. e Branches of the dendrogram obtained by hierarchical clustering of adjacency based similarity show 9 modules, labelled with a distinct colour, and d Top 15 significantly enriched KEGG pathways (blue column) and top 5 significantly enriched BioCarta pathways (turquoise column) by genes in the largest turquoise module. f Top 50 hub genes of turquoise module visualized by cytoscape network. mRNAs or lncRNAs with high connectivity and edges with weight above a threshold of 0.1 were identified as hub genes. The red nodes denote lncRNAs, and the green nodes denote mRNAs.
