Figure 4 Metabolic alterations among responders and non-responders of methotrexate (MTX) treatment(A) Principal component analysis showed obvious separation between the responders and non-responders. (B) Volcano plot indicates 5 differentially expressed lipids, including 3 upregulated and 2 downregulated targets. (C) Phosphatidylethanolamine PE (34: 4) and PE (38: 1) are downregulated in the responder group. (D) Five lipid components are highly enriched in the glycerophospholipid pathway. (Figures were generated by R with ggplot2_3.4.2, EnhancedVolcano_1.16.0. The Metabolic pathways analysis was based on MetaboAnalyst 6.0.).
