BIG treatment resulted in dysregulated gene levels and interacting signalling in human chondrocytes in OA. A Volcano map representing the altered expression levels of the 248 genes caused by BIG treatment. B Cytoscape of the top 20 hub genes, and BIG promoted the upregulation of MYC expression. C KEGG pathway analysis revealed differentially expressed genes enriched in cell cycle pathways. D Differential gene hierarchical clustering analysis between the control and BIG-treated groups was performed, and the results are displayed in a heatmap (n = 3, P < 0.05). Red indicates upregulated genes, and blue indicates downregulated genes
