GO terms cluster of up-regulated and down-regulated genes in SV VSMCs. Fold Enrichment (FE): To measure the magnitude of enrichment. For example, 10% of analysis genes are kinases versus 1% of genes in human genome (this is population background) are kinases. Thus, the fold enrichment is tenfold. Fold enrichment 1.5 and above are considered as statistical significance. Negative value means that the GO term was down-regulated in SV VSMCs. GO Terms: A detailed GO item in the annotation source of DAVID system. Each set of color bars represents a annotation term group(cluster). Values in brackets was Enrichment Score (ES) of each cluster : To rank overall importance (enrichment) of annotation term groups. It is the geometric mean of all the enrichment P-values (EASE scores) of each annotation term in the group. To emphasize that the geometric mean is a relative score instead of an absolute P-value, minus log transformation is applied on the average P-values. ES > 1.3-fold (equivalent to non-log scale 0.05) was considered as statistical significance, mean that the gene cluster was significantly enriched in analysis list. P-value (or called EASE score, for individual term members): To examine the significance of gene–term enrichment with a modified Fisher’s exact test (EASE score). P <0.05 was considered as statistical significance.
