Genomic analysis of the systemic LPS-induced transcriptional response and impact of TNFα inhibition.

<p><b>A</b>. Volcano plot analysis (integrating p-values and log2 foldchanges) for the LPS-induced response in subjects treated with placebo. <b>B</b>. Volcano plot analysis of the LPS-induced response in subjects treated with the TNFα antagonist etanercept. Red dots in panels A and B indicate probes that showed a fold-change ≥1.5 or ≤1.5. <b>C</b>. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering heatmap of the 4077 LPS-induced transcripts that were influenced by etanercept treatment as identified by ANOVA (q-value <0.05). Columns represent subject samples and rows represent transcripts. Red indicates increased gene expression, and blue indicates decreased gene expression.
