Why this annotation

Hub genes include TGFBR1 and TGFBR2 (TGF-beta receptors I and II), TGIF1 (TGF-beta-induced factor homeobox, a SMAD2/3 co-repressor), NR3C1 (glucocorticoid receptor), KLF9 (glucocorticoid-responsive KLF transcription factor), IRAK3 (IRAK-M, negative regulator of TLR/IL-1 signaling promoting tolerance), TET3 (epigenetic DNA demethylation), IRS2 (PI3K/Akt signaling). The module increases post-treatment and with UC remission, consistent with an anti-inflammatory/tolerogenic TGF-beta and glucocorticoid response program. IRAK3 is a well-established tolerance mediator in DCs.
