Analysis of DEGs. a Volcano plot of DEGs. A total of 2988 DEGs were downregulated and 802 DEGs were upregulated in Mod-VS-Nor, while 3362 DEGs were upregulated and 777 DEGs were downregulated in WB-VS-Mod. b Twelve signaling pathways associated with bone or cartilage were significantly enriched by KEGG analysis. Abbreviation: DEGs: differentially expressed genes
