Interaction networks between DEGs and genes involved in the Hepatitis B pathway.

<p>The proteins encoded by DEGs (red, green or yellow nodes) or involved in the Hepatitis B pathway (purple nodes) in the KEGG database were extracted to construct a protein–protein interaction network. The lines in the network represent protein–protein interactions, including binding/association, phosphorylation, activation, and inhibition. Proteins encoded by up-regulated or down-regulated DEGs are indicated in red or green, respectively.
