Characteristics of the yellow module mRNAs during early EMT. a Network connection of the most highly connected genes in the yellow module. Blue lines indicate a positive expression correlation, and red line indicates a negative expression correlation. Pink circles indicate transcription regulatory genes within the module. b-f RT-qPCR results of mRNA levels of key yellow module genes in CAF treated and control A549 cells at different time points. Error bars are SD. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; t-test
