Why this annotation

IFI6 is a canonical interferon-stimulated gene (ISG). CX3CL1 (fractalkine) is an inflammatory chemokine produced by macrophages to recruit NK cells and T cells. PLAU (urokinase-type plasminogen activator) is upregulated in inflammatory macrophages and drives ECM remodeling. GSN (gelsolin) participates in actin remodeling during inflammatory activation. MYOF (myoferlin) is involved in membrane repair and vesicle fusion. The combination of an ISG, an inflammatory chemokine, and a plasminogen activator points to an interferon-driven inflammatory macrophage program with chemokine secretion.
