Why this annotation

This module shows significant upregulation with inflammation (delta_inflammation = 0.489, sig.) and positive treatment response. Hub genes include TLN1 (talin-1, integrin activation and focal adhesion), RNF213 (E3 ubiquitin ligase, innate immune/interferon-stimulated gene, also involved in angiogenesis), ZNF292 (transcription factor), TPR (nuclear pore scaffold), PRKDC (DNA-PKcs, DNA repair), NIFK (nucleolar protein, ribosome biogenesis), PSMD11 (proteasome subunit), DOCK10 (Rho GEF, lymphocyte migration), IKZF2 (Helios, Treg/ILC transcription factor), SRSF9 (splicing). RNF213 is notably an interferon-stimulated gene and innate immune sensor. The inflammation association, RNF213 hub position, and PRKDC (DNA damage/innate sensing) suggest an innate immune activation/stress response program. TLN1 and DOCK10 add adhesion/migration components. The module is moderately coherent with mixed membership, but the inflammation signal is the strongest feature.
