Why this annotation

Hub genes include SIN3A (HDAC co-repressor complex), PHF1 (Polycomb repressive complex 2 component), and CHD1 (chromatin remodeler). NR1H2 (LXRβ) and PPARD (PPARδ) are nuclear receptors known to suppress NF-κB and regulate lipid metabolism. HMGCR and HMGCS1 are cholesterol biosynthesis enzymes regulated by LXR. SAP30BP is a Sin3A-associated protein. ZBTB21, PRDM8, ZNF410 are transcriptional repressors. AGPAT4 is a phospholipid biosynthesis enzyme. The module combines chromatin-level transcriptional repression with LXR/PPAR-mediated lipid metabolism — a known counter-regulatory axis to NF-κB inflammation. As a neighbor to M65 (NF-κB activation), this module may represent the opposing transcriptional repression program.
