Why this annotation

MAP1LC3A (LC3A) is a core autophagosome component and definitive autophagy marker. HIGD1A is a hypoxia-inducible gene that promotes mitochondrial survival and is upregulated during mitophagy. CASP9 is an initiator caspase in the intrinsic apoptosis pathway. RIPK2 is a kinase in NOD1/2 innate immune signaling. DUSP10 is a stress-activated MAPK phosphatase. PRKAR1A is a PKA regulatory subunit. CCS is a copper chaperone for SOD1 (oxidative stress). The module is upregulated in UC inflammation. The combination of autophagy (MAP1LC3A, HIGD1A), apoptosis (CASP9), and innate immune signaling (RIPK2) suggests a stress-induced autophagy/cell survival program in inflamed mast cells.
