Why this annotation

Hub genes include TSC22D3 (GILZ, glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper, a canonical glucocorticoid response gene), DDIT4 (REDD1, stress-induced mTOR inhibitor, also glucocorticoid-responsive), SAT1 (spermidine/spermine acetyltransferase, stress/polyamine catabolism), WSB1 (SOCS box protein, hypoxia/ubiquitin), GLUL (glutamine synthetase, metabolic stress), BRD2 (bromodomain chromatin reader), NLRC5 (MHC-I transactivator). TSC22D3 and DDIT4 together are a strong signature of glucocorticoid/stress response. Despite weak membership, this is the most coherent biological signal in the batch.
