Why this annotation

Hub genes IER5 (immediate early response gene 5, induced by heat shock and DNA damage, regulates PP2A), DNAJB9 (ERdj4, ER stress/UPR chaperone), AMD1 (AdoMetDC, polyamine synthesis — links to M141/ODC1), PMAIP1 (NOXA, pro-apoptotic BH3-only, p53 target), SOCS3 (JAK-STAT inhibitor, cytokine feedback), DUSP2 (PAC1, activation-induced MAPK phosphatase), NFKBIB (IκBβ, NF-κB inhibitor), PHLDA1 (TDAG51, Akt inhibitor, stress/apoptosis priming), SLC2A3 (GLUT3, stress-induced glucose uptake), YBX3 (cold shock domain, stress-activated RNA regulator). The combination of IER5+DNAJB9+PMAIP1+PHLDA1 defines a heat/proteotoxic stress with apoptotic priming signature. SOCS3+DUSP2+NFKBIB add the concurrent signaling inhibition. This is consistent with stressed/activating gd T cells undergoing proteotoxic stress-induced apoptotic priming.

Most correlated modules

Module annotations were drafted by a large language model from the module's genes, then reviewed and approved by a domain expert. See sources & licences.
